Literature: Anne Christiansen, “Brendekilde. Liv og værk”, 2021, mentioned and reproduced p. 174. Here it says (in Danish): It was not only the people's life in the cities and oases - with the exotic vegetation and different livestock - in North Africa and the Middle East that fascinated Brendekilde, so did the barren desert landscape. He maintained the motif in a single painting, which he tried in vain to sell at auction in 1893, but it remained unsold until the estate auction in 1942. "
