This 1920 photograph by T. H. Parkhurst depicts two Taos Pueblo figures seated indoors while making moccasins. Parkhurst worked extensively in New Mexico and is closely associated with the photographic record of Taos, Santa Fe, and Pueblo communities in the early twentieth century. The title identifies the subject clearly and places the image within the domestic and working life of Taos Pueblo.
The composition focuses on the makers, their tools, and the quiet interior setting, giving the photograph both documentary and portrait value. Strong tonal contrast and careful framing direct attention to the act of making, rather than to a staged backdrop or decorative effect. As a Taos Pueblo subject, the work belongs in the Southwest category and can be described specifically as a New Mexico Pueblo image.
