The Escape by Giulio Rosati is one of the many Orientalist paintings that inspired me to do my 10mm Algeria project



Here's my take on it using Pendraken figures



The horsemen are WW1 Irregular Arab cavalry (ME25)

The camel riders started life as Mahdist camelry (SC8) and, thanks to my mate Shaun, ended up as pretty good depictions of the two central riders

I say! That's rather good!

Well done, Sir!

No idea myself. Could it be as enigmatic as Browning's "How They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix"?

Applause for a very good reproduction in miniature of the painting.  =D> 
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Regardless of who's escaping whom, both painting and miniatures reproduction are excellent.
