This painting shows a group of men in desert clothes. The man in the front wears a blue cloak and a white turban, holding a long stick. Behind him, other men stand with staffs, and camels are visible in the background. The colors are soft and earthy, with light shading. The title says these are "Arabs of the Tribe of the Benisaid," drawn from life by the artist. The style looks like it was made after 1849, using watercolor.
