Dent's expedition to the Caucasus Mountains.[4] His first exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art was in 1889, and through the end of 1904 he exhibited there eleven paintings,[5] including Sakar, India: moonlight (1895)[6] and A Hunter's Shrine, Central Caucasus (1901).[7] In 1927 he painted Head of a Sailor for John Player & Sons for the promotion of Player's Navy Cut cigarettes.[8][9]
