Six members of the Royal Life Guard (Den Kongelige Livgarde) stand in formation on a cobblestone square in Amalienborg Palace, Copenhagen, Denmark. The guards wear traditional dark blue tunics, white cross belts, light blue trousers with white side stripes, and black bearskin shakos. The leftmost guard holds a rifle with an attached bayonet, butt resting on the ground. Another guard carries a Danish flag. The guards face right, generally away from the viewer. In the immediate background to the right is a classical, multi-story stone building with numerous white-framed windows and a dark, ornate roof, characteristic of Amalienborg Palace. Sunlight illuminates the right side of this structure. To the left, a large building is under renovation, obscured by extensive metal scaffolding. Its visible wall is a light tan color. A group of approximately ten civilians observe the scene from behind a dark fence or barrier on the left side of the square. One civilian wears a bright red coat. Other civilians are visible further back on the right side of the square. The cobblestone ground appears wet or reflective. The sky above is clear and light blue.
