About this item

Content

Genre/Subject Matter:

This three-quarter length seated portrait shows a bearded man, described as the leading sheikh for Malay pilgrims. He sits face forward, looking towards the camera.

The man wears a mid-coloured outer robe over a striped shirt or thawb and a white turban on his head.

The negative has had hand-work applied, causing it to take on a soft-shaded paint-like quality in places. In particular the original background has been substituted completely. In addition, the men’s lower calves and feet have been cut out of the frame.
