Group portrait of three of Sheikh Shakhbut bin Sultan Al Nahyan's retainers sitting on the Corniche in Abu Dhabi. The elderly man on the left wears a dark robe (bisht) decorated with gold embroidery over his long shirt (thobe), and a headscarf topped with a thick light 'agal (head rope). The man next to him is seated in a half-kneeling pose with his hand at his mouth. He is wearing a long shirt, a patterned headscarf, and a camel stick which leans on his chest. At the right, a third man is seated in a half-kneeling pose, also with his hand by his mouth. The ocean stretches out across the background behind the men, and in the background on the far left a young girl looks over at the men.
