Camel 19th century

This small ceramic figurine of a camel was created by Mary Atwood, a 19th century American artist, and is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection. The intricately detailed camel is depicted in a realistic manner, standing on a green base and painted in shades of brown and gold. This miniature piece showcases Atwood’s skill in capturing the animal’s form and features with great precision. The camel figurine, a testament to Atwood's artistry, stands as a delightful example of 19th-century American ceramics.
