label: Description
content: Figure study of a mustached individual outfitted in Bedouin garments. Wearing striped clothing, a brown and white robe, a yellow headdress, and red boots, the figure holds the barrel of a long rifle in both hands as its stock rests on the ground. The foreground consists of loosely-rendered patches of grass amongst dirt, while the background is an indistinct brown surface. 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.
