Arabier op een kameel 1577

"Arabier op een kameel" is an etching by Dutch artist Abraham de Bruyn, created in 1577. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a rider on a camel, captured in a detailed and realistic manner. The image is framed by a decorative border featuring fantastical creatures and plants, characteristic of the illustrative style popular in the 16th century. This artwork is a prime example of de Bruyn’s artistic contributions, combining meticulous detail with a focus on exotic subjects prevalent during the Age of Exploration.
