DescriptionA couple poses at the Cobb Studio in Albuquerque New Mexico for a portrait. A hand painted backdrop of a Southwest landscape is behind them. They are both dressed in Southwest ranching style clothing. On the left, stands a figure in a large cowboy hat, checkered button-down shirt, handkerchief tied into a bowtie, striped trousers, and leather cowboy boots with spurs. One hand is tucked behind, resting in a pocket. The other hand rests on the leg. Beside him stands another figure wearing a suede fringed skirt with fringed pockets round metal beads or studs. There is a thick leather belt around the small of the waist, and she wears a white bouse with a bow under the neck. She also wears a large brimmed and high domed suede hat with leather boots. Her hands are held behind her.
They look at the camera with slight smiles.
