This is an oil painting executed in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains north of Santa Fe near the Tesuque River. Von Hassler often painted on site in areas in Northern New Mexico. He particularly liked the small Northern villages between Santa Fe and Taos.

In his early years in Albuquerque, Von Hassler's studio was in the original Casa de Armijo (now La Placita Restaurant) in Old Town Albuquerque. He is best known for his traditional realistic landscapes of New Mexico and his Indian portraits.
