A group of ten people, including men, women, and children, are in front of a rustic adobe house with a shingle roof. The adults are dressed in early 1900s attire, with long skirts and blouses for the women and suits or vests for the men. The children are dressed simply, with some wearing hats. One woman with braids is seated on a wooden bench, and a man in a suit and hat stands behind two seated women. Some children are seated on the ground. Several women wear necklaces. The background shows an open field with sparse vegetation, a few structures, and a cloudy sky.
