The image depicts a daytime outdoor scene at the Escuela Náutica Mercante (Merchant Marine Academy) in Antón Lizardo, Veracruz, Mexico. A young male individual, wearing a tan uniform consisting of a short-sleeved shirt, matching trousers, dark polished shoes, and a black diagonal sash, stands in the foreground, facing slightly right of the camera. He holds a ceremonial standard with both hands; the standard features a dark blue (or black) rectangular flag with gold fringe and a golden finial. The flag displays a crest with an anchor, a Caduceus-like symbol, the words "ESCUELA NAUTICA MERCANTE," the Mexican coat of arms, and "VERACRUZ." In his left hand, he holds a folded dark cap with a white cloth. In the mid-ground, to the right, several other male individuals in similar tan uniforms are standing. The background features two grey passenger buses marked "MARINA," one bearing the number "T00048," parked on a paved surface. A silver sedan is partially visible behind the right bus. A tall, dark grey streetlight with two lamp heads stands on the right. The ground is a textured concrete or asphalt surface, bordered by a yellow curb and a strip of green vegetation. The sky is partially cloudy with numerous grey and white clouds interspersed with patches of blue.
