See also 1781.b.6/23The man wears a dark-coloured outer robe, star-patterned jalabiya underneath it and a white turban with a dark-coloured cap. On both hands he wears rings and ornately-buckled shoes.The negative has had hand-work applied, causing it to take on a soft-shaded quality in places. In particular, the background appears to have been substituted, aside from the carpet on which the man is seated.Physical description: Dimensions:127 x 90 mmFormat:1 collotype printCondition:The print is in good condition.Foliation:‘XV’
