This is in the studio of Frederick Waugh, which was later the Hans Hofmann studio. He was the only one in town who had a record player at the time. The people in the painting are Lucy L'Engle on the right, Jerry Farnsworth and his wife Helen Sawyer on the left. All three are painters who were active members of the Provincetown Art Association.
