Nomads, Bou Saâda, Algeria

Harry Stevens 1919 - 2008

Summary

Sketchy drawing depicting a family of nomads sitting beside their tent in a desert. The mother sits to the right, facing the viewer, her hands resting on her right knee; to her right, the father sits cross legged, holding a cigarette in his left hand. A child leans against her father's left shoulder, looking towards the viewer. The landscape is desolate, but for a mountain visible in the distance. The family sit with empty plates and a jug layed at their feet.
