Football game
Description
Depicts spectators standing around a sports field with football match in progress. The spectators are in uniform; khaki is dominant with a couple of blue uniforms scattered in the crowd. The goal posts are soccer goals, and it is not an oval field as for Australian Rules football, so that the game is most likely soccer. There is a forest of trees along the horizon, bathed in the warm light of late autumn.
