An elderly Nubian man dressed in a traditional white galabiya (Galabeya) and a red-and-white turban sits calmly on a stone ledge outdoors in Aswan, Upper Egypt. Behind him, blooming bougainvillea in vivid red and a white gazebo structure are visible, typical of Aswan garden properties along the Nile. The subject, identified by the creator as a guard (Haris) in Aswan, represents the local Nubian workforce and traditional dress of Upper Egypt.
