DescriptionSan Pascual stands on his patio in front of a door, with a chile ristra to his right and a blue window to his left with a barbeque grill under it. He is dressed in a white tunic and brown robe. With his left hand he pours a glass of water and stirs a chocolate pot with his right. A cat in the foreground watches him. A bowl, glass and slices of bread are on a folding table nearby. There is a row of vigas above his head with a layer of prickly pear cacti on top. A leather thong stretches across the back for hanging. The edges are painted brown. Signed, dated, and titled on back.
