Description
"Heidnische Kaffern mit Kopfschmuck" (''Heathen Kaffirs with headdresses"). Seven people are in front of a house. Five of them are sitting in one line, wrapped in dark draperies. They are wearing specific headdresses (maybe dried leaves). The man on the right is closing his eyes. The other two men are behind the five men. One man is leaning on the house, wearing a suit. On the left, another man is sitting on the stairs, wearing a suit as well.
