Several men and women sit on rough stone steps in front of a high wall of irregular ancient masonry. A man in a dark suit stands at the centre, and a figure in uniform sits among the group. Two draped marble statues stand against the wall, one at the left edge and one behind the seated group, and another draped statue stands at the right edge beside a woman in a dark coat.
