- Figure study of an individual outfitted in Bedouin clothing. The figure stands among classical ruins strewn upon the ground and leans against a column at left. He glares out of frame to the left. Although wearing the flowing headdress and draped clothing of the Bedouin people, this individual is actually Benjamin Bellows Grant Stone, Church's neighbor who he dressed up to serve as a model. In the background, whispy clouds stretch across a blue sky.
