This painting shows eight Native Americans, all wearing different headgear. One is holding a violin. The men are arranged in a pyramid shape, with three at the top and four at the bottom. The violinist is on the right. The men are all looking at the viewer. The painting is quite detailed, with different textures on the men's clothing. The violinist's instrument is also detailed, with visible strings and a bow. The background is a muted color, which helps the men stand out.
