Seated portrait of a tribesman ...

Seated portrait of a tribesman of the Rashid Bedouin at Muhammad's encampment near Bir al Tawil in the Ramlat ar Rabbad. This man is a son of Muhammad, a sheikh of the Rashid Bedouin with whom Wilfred Thesiger and his Bedouin companions stayed during Wilfred Thesiger's first crossing of the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali) in December 1946. He is sitting cross-legged in the sand with his hands clasped together and resting at his knee.
