Overview

Group of eight unknown men are gathered around a circular, covered table - two of them are sitting on each side of the table, the other four stand at the back. Five of these men are holding open spring-lidded vessels, and there are four bottles of Flensburg Stock Beer on the table, shrubbery and vegetation in sight in the background.
