محمد عبد العزيز ابن الشريف الأكبر

Content
Genre/Subject Matter:


This half-length standing portrait shows Muhammad Abd-èl-‘Azīz, the son of the Grand Scharīf. The young boy faces to his left and clutches the hilt of a sword or dagger at his waist.

He wears a loose-fitting robe with a thin sash across his right shoulder and a fez on his head.

The negative has had hand-work applied, causing it to take on a soft-shaded quality in places. The original background has been substituted completely.
