Genre/Subject Matter:
View of the verandah of Haines’s bungalow at Ras Marbut [Ra’s Marbūţ] looking towards Little Aden. Haines sits facing away from the viewer at right, apparently sketching. His wife and another woman stand at centre in profile, looking out to sea. Several chairs, benches and a recliner are placed about the verandah.
In the centre distance, the rocky peaks of Little Aden are visible. Two dhows, one steamer and a three-master are anchored or at sail in the bay.
A latticework screen divides the verandah from the outside at left.
