Description
Seated group portrait of four young Wahiba Bedouin in the Wadi Halfayn. On the left a tall man sits beside three young tribesmen, each of whom is wearing a thobe (shirt) and a headscarf topped with an 'agal (head rope). The boy on the right holds a camel stick. In front of the boys metal bowls, two stones and other items lie in the sand. Behind them bare sand stretches into the far distance.
