label: Description
content: Figure study of an individual outfitted in Bedouin clothing. Seated, the figure leans back and crosses his ankles as he holds a long rifle that is propped against his shoulder. He glares out of frame to the left. Although wearing the flowing headdress and draped clothing of the Bedouin people, this individual is actually Benjamin Bellows Grant Stone, Church's neighbor who he dressed up to serve as a model. Foreground and background are indeterminate and hastily painted.
