Painted by Albert Letchford, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 35x25.5 cm and is now housed in the prestigious Orleans House Gallery in Twickenham, UK. The painting depicts a richly adorned interior filled with an array of exotic treasures. The room is adorned with intricate Arabian motifs and luxurious furnishings that reflect Burton's adventurous spirit and fascination with Eastern cultures. Pots of various shapes and sizes are scattered throughout the room, adding an element of mystery to the scene. At the center of attention stands a magnificent hookah or shisha pipe - a symbol of indulgence and relaxation. Its ornate design showcases Burton's appreciation for fine craftsmanship as well as his love for tobacco rituals from around the world.
