Outdoor gathering on a gravel courtyard in front of a pale building with green shutters and an ornate iron balcony draped in red, white and green bunting. A man in a dark high-collared jacket and glasses stands at a lectern with a microphone, addressing seated listeners. In the foreground, several people sit on black chairs with red cushions, including a woman with long dark hair in a dark green shawl and a woman in a pale green top. A woman in a blue patterned outfit stands nearby. A blank screen is mounted on the building wall behind the speaker. No one in the scene is identifiable as a person from the visible cues, so the speaker is described by role only.
