This painting shows a group of people in front of a castle on a hill. The people are dressed in old-fashioned clothing and are gathered around a central figure. The background is a mountainous landscape with trees and bushes. In the foreground, the people are shown in various poses, some standing and others sitting. The central figure appears to be holding a staff or a sword. The castle on the hill is partially hidden by trees, but its towers and walls are visible. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
