About

A watercolor painting by famous British Orientalist Joseph Austin Benwell (1816-1886).

A detailed cityscape with a mosque and traditional architecture opens a scene, where a group sits on a carpet playing chess on a 5x5 board. The men in colorful dresses are smoking pipes and are surrounded by curious strangers. A white camel, one of the artist's trademarks, is placed just in the center of the composition.

Signed and dated "JA BENWELL.1870".
