DescriptionA trio of musicians performs in the dimly lit room of an adobe style building. Two middle-aged men sit on a bench against the back wall playing the accordion and fiddle. A young man with dark hair sits in a chair to the right of the other two musicians playing the guitar. The right wall of the room features a tall trastero in the background and a large painted chest in the foreground. A large Acoma style pot and a cowboy hat sit on the top of the chest.
