Additional Details:
A group of soldiers, possibly Swiss guards, are depicted in formation, likely during a changing of the guard ceremony. They are equipped with rifles and backpacks, traversing a mountainous landscape with patches of snow on the ground. A building, identified as the St. Gotthard Hospice, is visible in the background. The scene suggests a remote, high-altitude location.
