DescriptionA large adobe style structure dominates the image, the roofline stepping up progressively from left to right. On the left face of the building is a singular doorway, in the center is a large archway opening, and on the right there are two doorways and, above one of the doorways, a window with a balcony. In front of one of the right side doors are two male figures, one is mounted on a horse, the other has dismounted his horse and is approaching the door. The foreground is flat and unpaved. The sky is a dusky blue with the appearance of night.
