Sufi Gathering




This was a sketch done from life. It was at a mosque in Cairo near Hussein(Khan El Khaili). The gathering was of the sufi order of islam, and they were singing verses from poems by islamic scholars and from the Quran. It was very much a kind of active meditaion. The man in the centre was the leader of this group, all told a very dignified and wise man of profound knowledge.
