Close-up View #5 shows about 26 men, presumably keepers, all but a few of whom are sporting full mustaches. A half-dozen are seen wearing white carnations. The 26 are near a wall that features high-back medieval-styled decorative wooden chairs. Note another open window with lace curtains. Dark ties and cravats seem to predominate. Note also the man in front of the window appears to be wearing a clerical collar. A chaplain? |
