The older woman is standing on the left, holding a guitar, wearing a mantilla comb and shawl with a fringed dress, heels. Nellie is seated on the side of the fountain wearing a shawl, fringed dress and her hair pulled back and styled in a wave pattern. She holds a fan in her hands. Both women look at the camera and smile. The background shows the patio with exposed wooden beam rafters, and a section of the Guest Wing on the western part of the courtyard. There are pottery pieces on the stone mill that make up the center piece of the fountain. With minor warping, the "VELOX" stamp on the reverse and a number stamp of "91," it is in good condition overall.
