About this work

The Embarkation by Hermann Kretzschmer, dated 1852, shows a group of men wading through shallow water beside a moored wooden boat, one carrying a donkey on his shoulders. A bearded man in a white garment and red turban, holding a long pipe, looks toward the animal while a dark-skinned companion steadies it, and a procession of figures, camels and cattle winds along a hillside under a pale blue sky.
