Description
Two men are depicted standing in front of a large agave plant. The man on the left is holding a cigar close to his mouth with his left hand. He has a mustache, dark, bushy eyebrows, and is wearing a bowler hat, long coat, pants, and shoes. The man on the right has his right hand on his hip and his left hand extended, pointing at the cigar of the first man. He wears a hat with a wide brim, a scarf, long-sleeve shirt, pants, and shoes. In the background, a large agave plant dominates the scene, with a building faintly visible in the distance. Birds are drawn in the sky.
