Genre/Subject Matter:
This full length seated portrait of a bearded man shows a sayyid in Mecca.
The man is seated on an upholstered seat with bolster cushions on either side of him. These are covered in a patterned fabric featuring roses, pomegranates and other botanical motifs. See also 1781.b.6/24
The man wears an outer robe and white turban with a dark-coloured cap.
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.
