The artist skillfully portrays this scene on a grand canvas measuring 116.8x116.8 cm. Set against an outdoor backdrop with natural light illuminating the veranda where the event takes place, we see a large group of people gathered to witness this historic occasion.

Amongst the crowd are men and women engaged in their daily working lives, showcasing the diverse occupations within early 20th century California society. A young boy stands attentively beside his mother while political figures and statesmen converse nearby. The painting exudes a sense of youthful energy and sunny optimism that characterized this era in American history. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of horses and other animals present at the scene.
