A black and white lithograph depicting a crowded scene with numerous figures wearing sombreros and traditional Mexican attire. In the foreground, a man plays a guitar, while around him, people engage in various activities, some conversing and others in contemplation. The style is characterized by exaggerated forms and dynamic, flowing lines, creating a sense of movement and energy throughout the composition.
