Description
Standing three-quarter length portrait of a herds boy of the Rashid Bedouin with a female camel in the sands near Al Ain. The boy stands on the left, in front of the camel, holding his hand near her udders. The camel wears a camel udder bag suspended from a harness over her haunches, which prevents her calf from suckling her milk during the day. The boy wears a cloth tied around his waist, over his thobe (shirt), and a plain ghutra (headscarf).
