In the Courtyard

1875
Not on view
A scene in a North African town, within a courtyard next to a doorway surrounded by carved ornament, Arab men stand next to two camels, two of them gesturing, probably bargaining. At left, more men stand and sit near a third camel close to an arched entrance to a narrow street. A minaret is visible over a wall at center.
