Large oil on canvas painting in a massive giltwood frame depicts a night scene – the celebration of Eid. Distinctive artist composition opens a view of an old Oriental city, with a large group of people. The center is lighted with a bonfire, that reveals the faces of some figures. The sky is covered with light clouds, that surround the full Eid moon.
Signed “T.F.M. Sheard” on the lower right.
