Description

A man in a fez and light khaki tunic and breeches stands facing the camera on bare, stony ground. He holds a rifle upright beside him and wears a cartridge bandolier across his chest and a dark belt, with numerals on his high collar. A large white tent with guy ropes stands behind him, and the sea is visible at the right edge.
