Dromedary and Camel 1817

"Dromedary and Camel" is an 1817 etching by German artist Johann Adam Klein. The print depicts three camels, one dromedary with a single hump and two bactrian camels with two humps, standing and lying in a landscape setting. Klein's detailed portrayal captures the unique physical characteristics of these animals, their muscular build, and their distinctive humps. The print showcases Klein's skill as a draftsman and his ability to render realistic animal forms with precision, a popular subject in 19th-century natural history illustrations.
