Kamelen en groepen wachtende en gebarende mensen 1550 - 1620

This pen-and-ink drawing by Paolo Veronese, titled *Kamelen en groepen wachtende en gebarende mensen* (Camels and Groups of Waiting and Gesturing People) is a preparatory study for a larger composition, likely a painting. The drawing's dynamic lines and composition show the artist's meticulous planning. Figures are arranged in various postures, some seated, some standing, and some gesturing. Two camels are prominent in the composition, suggesting a scene from a biblical narrative or a classical story. This detailed drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Veronese's mastery of draftsmanship and his interest in depicting complex figures and gestures.
