Huber – Orientalist Scene with Camel and Figures in a North African Landscape, 19th century gouache, signed, 24cm x 32cm, within a gilt composition frame. Note: there is considerable conflation in online databases and indices as to which artist with the surname Huber executed North African scenes in gouache signed with the capitalised surname Huber.
