Portrait of a mariachi musician sitting on the rear bumper of a parked truck with a violin resting upright on one knee. He holds the neck of the violin at the base and gently balances the bow in his fingers, as he uses his other hand to lean on the opposite knee. A large brimmed hat rests on the bumper next to him, along with several cans of Diet Pepsi. Painted letters on the back of the truck read "LOS ELEGANTES" and are surrounded with musical notes.
