Frederick Goodall was born in London as the son of an engraver. Already at the age of 16 his first watercolour works were exhibited at the Royal Academy. With prize money and the earnings from his first sales, he financed trips to Brittany and Ireland. Here he began to specialize in romantic scenes of village life, such as in the depiction of the "village post office". He soon became a member of the Royal Academy of Arts and earned recognition and a large fortune with his artistic work.
In 1858 he made a journey to Egypt, where he visited Cairo and the pyramids and lived in a Bedouin camp. He grew a beard and wore white robes and a red fez. He brought a flock of Egyptian goats and sheep back to England, where he kept them on his estate. The trip to Egypt marks a turning point in his career. In the years that followed, Goodall's paintings dealt exclusively with Egypt and were based on sketches he had made there. The trips to Egypt also inspired him to create large-format paintings with biblical themes such as "Rebekah at the well".
Goodall was fascinated by the crowds at the bazaar, the mosques, the carvings of the balconies, the sphinx resting in the moonlight, but above all by the life of the Bedouins in the desert, which he depicted, for example, in his works "Bedouin in the Desert" and "Evening Prayer in the West". At the time of his death, Frederick Goodalls was an impoverished man who had used up all his wealth.
