Eillat Transjordan Frontier Force or British Druze Regiment (Palestine) is a 1942 watercolor by [Imre] Anthony Sandor Gross, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a group of people in military uniforms, gathered around a tent. They're wearing hats and jackets, and some are sitting on the ground. The scene is set in a desert landscape, with a few hills visible in the distance. The artist has used watercolour to create a sense of warmth and light in the painting. The colours are muted, but they add to the overall atmosphere of the scene. The people in the painting seem to be relaxed, maybe even enjoying each other's company.
