The white clothing that fills this pen and wash sketch is the first thing to notice, with loose garments picked out in quick washes of ink against the paper. White linen suits were common in Cuba's heat, so the dress alone places the gathering in a tropical setting. Pen and wash was a fast, portable method that visiting artists and illustrators often used to record meetings on the spot. Gatherings like this one were tied to the island's civic and political life in that period, which makes such sketches useful for seeing how people assembled and dressed.
