The men in this group portrait pose before large lattice panels making up the walls of a porch or entryway to a house. Nearly all of them wear shoulder straps, most visibly indicating a rank of first lieutenant or higher. While it is unclear what regiment they serve, many also appear to be wearing crepe bands or cockade pins, paying tribute to the assassinated president.
