A ball inside a mansion, There are four guards in the foreground, three on the left and one on the right. One of the guards on the left is a royal guard. Next to him is a man dressed in a military uniform, his hands resting on the backrest of a chair. Behind him in the background are four women dressed in gowns. A bigger crowd is only slightly perceptible in the very back of the setting. The royal guard and the man in a military uniform are cut out photographs. Only the head of the other characters are made out of cut out photographs.
