About this item
- Content
Genre/Subject Matter:
This full-length seated portrait shows three pilgrims from Bahrain, as well as a sheikh from Kabul in Afghanistan. They sit face forward, looking towards the camera, except for the man on the right, who faces slightly to his left and sits on a folding metal chair.
The man on the right is dressed in an outer robe over a pale-coloured thawb , a dark-coloured headdress and leather shoes. The moustached man at centre, identified as the sheikh from Kabul, wears a dark-coloured outer robe over a white shirt held by a sash at the waist, a white turban and sandals. The man on the left wears a mid-coloured outer robe about his shoulders and knees, a pale-coloured thawb or shirt and a patterned headdress/turban. He appears to be blind or partially sighted in his left eye.
The three men are photographed in a courtyard-like space with foliage visible in the background.
The negative has had hand-work applied, causing it to take on a soft-shaded quality in places, in particular, the shirt of the man at centre.
