Description
Seated portrait of a tribesman of the Duru Bedouin in the Wadi al 'Ayn. A tribesman of the Duru Bedouin sits in the sand facing forwards. He leans on one hand which sits inside a metal bowl. He wears a plaid cloth tied like a sash over his thobe (shirt) and a checked headscarf tied with an 'agal (head rope). Behind him trees and bushes grow in the sand, and a man stands in the background.
