Most are clusted near the left edge of the photograph. Of the 3 men sitting nearest to camera, only the man at left looks to camera. He also wears suspenders. The rightmost man in front is dressed in all black and lies on the ground facing left. Behind and between the 2 men in front at left and center, Veronica Veloshina lounges on the ground; she gazes to the right.
