The image appears to be a photographic negative, which means the colors and tones are inverted. It depicts a scene with a large gathering of people, possibly at an outdoor event. In the center, there is a small structure with a slanted roof, which might be a pavilion or shrine. Several individuals are standing around or inside this structure, while many more people are gathered around it in the foreground, with their backs to the viewer.

The background seems to include trees or foliage, and the scene appears to take place in a natural, possibly rural setting. The photograph is credited to the President and Fellows of Harvard College and is part of the Harvard University Art Museums' collection.

The background is a mix of dark areas and areas of brighter light suggesting trees and other foliage. The dark sky is completely black.
