About MeOne of 99 drawings on 92 leaves of paper from a sketchbook used by William Williams.

An Arab with fez-style hat, dressed in long tunic with three fasteners and a sash around his waist wearing full pantaloons. He has an expression that says he fears that dromedary which he leads does not like the ground.

This drawing, along with 46 other leaves from the same sketchbook, is now untraced. Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums is keen to reunite the drawings as one album. If you have any information relating to the current whereabouts of this work please contact Aberdeen Art Gallery.
