A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation, this piece depicts two weary travelers on horseback, accompanied by an attendant donkey, making their way up a dusty, stony street in a partially ruined adobe Persian village, beneath a pale blue sky flecked with cirrus clouds. Faithfully derived from a painting, the piece is finely woven, with the frame serving as the border. It features a short, upright, resilient pile.
