About this item
- Content
Genre/Subject Matter:
This full length seated portrait of two men shows two traders, from Mecca and Jeddah. Both face forward, looking towards the camera.
The man on the left wears a medium-tone outer robe over a striped robe with a white turban. The man on the right wears a white outer robe over a buttoned inner jacket and a white turban.
The two men are seated in what appears to be a courtyard space, with plants visible behind them.
The negative has had hand-work applied, causing it to take on a soft-shaded quality in places. In particular, the part of the face of the man on the right that is shaded has been reinscribed.
