Asia! thy trade, thy silks, and spicy stores

description below

A man in Turkish dress smokes a long pipe as he sits on one barrel as he leans on another. A similarly dressed man, seated next to him, holds an axe. Smoke pours from a brass brazier in the foreground while in the background, a woman holding an umbrella over her head rides a camel. While the rider ignores the scene, the camel looks at the scene of the two men.
