Three-quarter length portrait of one of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling companions standing in sands north of Al Ain during the party's journey from Al Ain to Ramlat Unayq. A bearded Arab man, one of Wilfred Thesiger's guides and a retainer to Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, leans on a camel stick in the central foreground. He wears a cartridge belt over his thobe (long shirt), and has a ghutra (headscarf) tied around his head. Behind him is a vast expanse of sand, beyond which a steep, rock faced mountain rises in the far distance.
