content: Figure study of three Bedouin men--one standing, two sitting--engaged in conversation in close proximity to one another. At left, the standing figure is viewed obliquely from the rear as he wears a blue robe and red and white headdress while he gestures toward the man seated at center. This middle figure wears a fez and red and yellow draped clothing as he holds a pipe to his mouth with his right hand and leans his long rifle against his left shoulder. Another seated figure is shown in profile at lower right and wears a fez with dark, draped clothing with a curved sword on his hip. Each figure is backdropped by greyish-brown shadow, while they gray ground is visible along each margin.
