The present work depicts the adobe home of Mabel Dodge Luhan in Taos, New Mexico. The famed salon hostess and patroness of the arts is said to have summoned her friend Andrew Dasburg from New York to Taos with a telegram that read, "Wonderful place. You must come. Am sending tickets. Bring me a cook." Once in Taos, Dasburg would become inspired by the unique landscape and culture of the region, gaining reknown as "the dean of Taos painters" for his unique and abstract visions of the Southwest.
