Description

Depicts a profile of a white donkey facing to the left of the image, wearing a halter, and held by an Arab youth (wallad) wearing a long yellow jellaba and a cap. The youth and donkey cast a dark shadow. Behind, two Arabs in blue robes, one partly obscured, stand outside wooden buildings, with a clear blue sky above.
