Description

A group of about a dozen men, many in caps and fezzes, crowds a dusty track in bright sunlight. In the foreground a man in a light shirt and cap bends forward over a pale rounded object, while a blurred figure in a dark hat stands at the right edge. Behind them a man in a suit with a flower in his buttonhole and a man in a dark military-style jacket stand watching; no car is visible.
