DescriptionThe image is a desert scape in which a group of camels, beginning in the lower left and extending diagonally to the middle right, lay on the ground with their drivers crouched under the packs that are still mounted on the camels. In the foreground, just right of center, bleached bones appears out of the sand; in the background clouds or dust swirl as if driven by the wind.
