DescriptionA large group of small boys, all wearing identical dark jerseys, light trousers, and light caps, pose in a grassy field. Two men in the background, both with mustaches, are presumably their teachers. A frame house with a porch and louvered shutters, is on a hill in the distance, with trees on either side.
