This is a mosaic artwork located in the Saint Petersburg Metro, likely within a station. The mosaic depicts a group of soldiers in historical military attire, possibly from the 17th or 18th century. They are dressed in elaborate uniforms with coats, breeches, stockings, and tricorn hats. Many of the figures are holding weapons such as spears and swords. In the center, a prominent figure in a red and gold coat appears to be a leader. A younger figure in the foreground is depicted playing a drum. Behind the soldiers, various flags and banners are displayed, some featuring religious iconography, including a depiction of Christ. The overall impression is of a military procession or a historical battle scene. The mosaic is framed by a golden border and set against a textured, golden background composed of small tesserae. The artwork is installed in an arched recess within a wall, suggesting it is a permanent fixture in a public space like a metro station.
