Half-length portrait of a man ...

Half-length portrait of a man, a retainer of the Al Nahyan sheikhs, standing in front of a tent near Al Ain, taken during Wilfred Thesiger's journey from Abu Dhabi to Al Ain. The man is smoking a wooden pipe. He wears a khanjar (dagger) and a cartridge belt over his thobe (shirt), and has a rifle slung over his left shoulder. Behind him is a large tent made of woven fabric decorated with bright stripes, and in the far background is a ridge of sand dotted with vegetation.
