Kop van een kameel 1620 - 1647

This detailed etching, "Kop van een kameel" (Head of a Camel) by Stefano della Bella, created between 1620 and 1647, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the animal's anatomy with delicate strokes. The camel's head is depicted in profile, its large, expressive eye, and fur rendered with precision. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of texture and volume, highlighting the camel's distinctive features. This small-scale work (80mm x 84mm) demonstrates della Bella's mastery of the etching technique, resulting in a powerful yet intimate portrayal of the animal.
