Half length portrait of an ... Type:stretched canvasHalf length portrait of an Arab man, one of Wilfred Thesiger's guides, at a well near the city of Sharjah during the party's journey from Jabal Sumeini to Sharjah. The man, a retainer of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, stands looking into the far left distance. He wears a thobe (long shirt) and an embroidered ghutra (headscarf) topped with an agal (head rope). Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage

with four towers prominent

Behind them bare sand stretches into the far distance

on the left

which are tethered together

On the far right another rock escarpment rises

In the distance the low rolling dunes continue along the horizon below a cloudless sky

View of a man standing in front of a gate at Al Fahidi fort in the Bastakiya quarter of old Dubai

riding across a sand flat in Al Batin sands during their journey across the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali) from Al Dhafra sands to Liwa oasis

One of the men adjusts the saddlery on a couched camel

Behind him a crowd of people stand with donkeys carrying wood

past a sand bank and the many moored dhows that line the shore

The two men are half-siblings by their father
