DescriptionThis image depicts a view of one of the wall paintings inside the La Copita Lounge in the Hilton Hotel at Second Street and Copper Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The painting consists of two oxen pulling a cart with a large barrel on it. A thin man is sitting on the front of the cart. Behind the cart is a much larger man wearing a poncho and a sombrero riding a donkey. In front of the wall with the painting on it is a small lounge area. Two cushioned armchairs behind a small wooden coffee table can be seen. A standing lamp can be seen on both the right and left sides of the frame.
