Camino specialized in portraits and miniatures and produced numerous watercolors with Orientalist themes. The image of a single figure standing or sitting outside the entrance to a mosque was a standard theme in Orientalism, one that also attracted Tanner. But Camino concentrates on anecdotal details of costume, like the numerous pairs of shed slippers, and the physical attitude of the figure. Tanner, on the other hand, expressed the overall feeling of a street scene as rendered through light and atmosphere.
