View of a member of ... Jacques-Philippe PotteauView of a member of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party in Al Humrah sands during their journey to Umm az Zumul. In the foreground the crest of a low dune rises on the right, while on the left one of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions stands in a depression between dunes. He carries a rifle slung under his arm and stands facing into the far left background. In the distance beyond rolling downs stretch towards the far horizon below a cloudless sky.
