This detailed engraving by Melchior Lorck depicts a saddled-up dromedary in profile. Created in 1576, the artwork showcases the artist's keen observation of animal anatomy and the meticulous detail of the animal's fur and the intricate design of the saddle. The dromedary's head is turned away from the viewer, adding a sense of mystery to the composition. The piece, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides a glimpse into the artist's fascination with the natural world and the exotic creatures he encountered during his travels. The engraving is a testament to Lorck's skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the essence of his subject with precision and accuracy.
