Landschap met een dromedaris 1643 - 1657

"Landschap met een dromedaris," a detailed etching by Isaac van Waesberge, depicts a dromedary in a mountainous landscape. The artist's skill in rendering the animal's anatomy and the textured landscape is evident in the hatching technique. The camel is depicted in profile, its hump prominently displayed, and its head turned slightly to the left. Van Waesberge, a Dutch artist, is known for his animal studies, and this etching reflects his mastery in capturing realistic details. This artwork, dating back to 1643-1657, exemplifies the fascination with exotic animals during the Dutch Golden Age.
