Painting on antiques roadshow

[Mortartube]

Quite some years ago, someone brought a painting to the AR that turned out to be a known but lost painting from the collection by a particular artist. It portrayed soem Bedoiun Arabs sitting around a campfire at night in the desert. Can anyone recall the artist as I recall really liking the picture and would like to see it again?

Moments after posting this I found it. It was "The Halt in the desert by Richard Dadd".

I think it was sold to the British Museum

Thank you Dot. The information that I have found seems to bear that out.
