View of an entrance to the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs, formerly the Amphithéâtre de Saint-Côme. Three steps lead up to double doors set in an arch, flanked by columns on either side. Reliefs of saints and processions decorate the facade. Outside the entrace, a bust of a woman rests on the cobblestones. Wooden boxes are stacked next to another door on the left. A ladder leans against the building. A long tube or pipe, which appears to be part of maintenance works, runs out of one of the doors.
