content: Portrait of the artist's dromedary and companion, Zraigan, sketched near Jerusalem while en route to Petra, with other light sketches. At right, Zraigan faces directly forward, his smiling face rendered in detail. He is laden with a weight saddle placed upon his hump. Separately at upper center, Zraigan--or perhaps another camel--is sketched from behind. At upper left, another camel and a figure are outlined from the rear. At lower left, a portion of an old stone house is shown with a figure standing on top of it.
