Description

A woman in a wide-brimmed hat, jacket and tall boots sits astride a camel with a striped saddle blanket and rope harness, looking toward the camera. To the right a smiling man in a fez and knitted sweater stands beside the camel, and a small child in a checked dress walks in the background. Low houses, a tall wooden pole and trees line the unpaved street.
