Description

A large group of men in shirts and waistcoats stands in a dusty yard, several with arms raised, as if toasting or cheering. A woman sits on a chair at the left beside a row of wooden chairs, and a child stands at the lower right. Behind them rise a plastered mud-brick building with a window and a tall arched opening, and some figures at the right are blurred by movement.
