Portrait of an Arab man ... Frame:whitePortrait of an Arab man examining a camel at the open air market in the town of Qalat Bishah. The man holds the camel's face in his hands and is pulling the camel's mouth open in order to see its teeth. In the background a row of mud framed shelters sits at the far edge of the market grounds.
