Two Swiss Guards stand on a stone-paved courtyard facing each other, holding spears. They are dressed in traditional striped uniforms of yellow, red, and blue. Behind them is a gray guardhouse and the side of a large stone building with windows. In front of the guards is a low white fence separating them from a small group of tourists. The tourists are looking at the guards, some taking pictures. A man in a white shirt stands to the left, a woman with a backpack and her hair in a ponytail stands in the center, and two children are visible on the right side of the frame.
