Summary

Description
English: 1850 watercolour painting by Frederick Charles Cooper, used to make an engraving to illustrate Austen Henry Layard's publications on Ninevah and Babylon. The painting is titled at bottom in pencil: “Tent of the Cheif [sic] of the Chichi Kurds". In the image, coffee is served to the tribesmen and to foreign guests (in the foreground) in the tent of the tribe's chief. One of seated guests (in jacket and peaked cap) is probably Layard himself. Another pencil note in the bottom left reads "Dresses on each side of various colours. People on the right of spectator in shadow". See the British Museum's website.
