Two Native American men (Capote Ute) pose for a portrait. The men have wrapped braids and wear leather moccasins and leggings with fringe and bead or quillwork. The man seated on a buffalo robe has a blanket around his waist, he wears a choker necklace and probably a beaded sash. The other man wears a blanket over his shoulders and a sash of silver conchos down his back.
