"Camels" is a 1932 pastel drawing by Russian artist Zinaida Serebriakova, depicting a scene of several camels resting in the desert with people standing nearby. The light and airy style is characteristic of Serebriakova's work, and the use of pastel gives the drawing a soft and delicate quality. Known for her depictions of female figures and scenes of daily life, Serebriakova also traveled widely, finding inspiration in the cultures and landscapes she encountered, as evident in "Camels."
