In front of the pavilion, uniformed soldiers and officers in tricorne hats stand in formation and converse, some carrying muskets and some gesturing. To the right, a tall stone church with a steep roof and a multi-tiered tower rises behind a long building, and a dense crowd lines the building's base.
