Un Chameau Vu Par la Croupe c. 17th century

"Un Chameau Vu Par la Croupe," a 17th-century etching by Stefano della Bella, depicts a camel viewed from the rear. The camel stands majestically in a desert landscape, with a smaller camel in the foreground and a pyramid in the background. This detailed rendering of the camel's anatomy and its environment demonstrates della Bella's skill in animal studies and his interest in exotic subjects. The etching is a small, intimate work that showcases della Bella's mastery of line and detail, typical of his artistic style.
