Description
Full length standing portrait of a boy with his donkey in front of a house wall in Sharjah. A teenage boy stands leaning on a cane next to his donkey in front of a decorated wall. The boy wears a patterned ghutra (headscarf) and a shirt cinched with a thin leather belt over a wraparound skirt. Beside him the donkey has been saddled with blankets and a thick sheepskin. The wall behind them is decorated with carved plaster embellishments and plants can be seen growing in the courtyard behind.
