- Description
- Figure study of a mustached individual outfitted in Bedouin garments. Wearing a black robe, a yellow headdress, and red boots, the figure holds a pipe or flute in his right hand and looks out of frame to the right. The foreground consists of loosely-rendered dirt and rocks, while the background is an indistinct brown surface. 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.
