About the piece

Painted in 1914 by Max Slevogt, this evocative work captures the raw power of the desert atmosphere. The composition features two figures mounted on camels, rendered with confident, energetic brushstrokes that emphasize the scale of the approaching sandstorm against the vast, golden expanse of the Libyan dunes.
