Modern Egyptian, oil portrait by Antonio Zeno Shindler

A standing man in a red fez with a blue tassel wears a long dark coat over a patterned vest, a red sash, and baggy blue trousers with boots. Behind him a hazy city skyline stretches toward distant pyramids and mosque domes under a pale sky, in an oil painting on canvas.
