A photograph of a crowded dining room with round tables draped in cream tablecloths, set with wine glasses, cutlery, folded napkins, salt and pepper shakers, a bottle of olive oil and a water bottle. At the centre table, a man with short dark hair and rimless glasses wears a white short-sleeved shirt and sits beside a bearded man in a white shirt with a blue beaded bracelet. Several other people in white clothing sit at nearby tables, and a few stand near the buffet in the background. No one at this table has distinctive ascetic or ceremonial cues, so no identity is asserted. Some people in the room wear white attire, consistent with a shared group dress code, and sunlight comes through large windows.
