This painting of Mexican boys playing marbles is the first Luis Amendolla original I bought.
I found it to be elegant – and a good representation of one aspect of the Mexican culture –
so I had it reproduced on the cover of our menu. Customers complimented the art
on a regular basis, and the image became closely identified with La Fonda.
