"Camels (Circus Krone)" is a pencil drawing by German artist Wilhelm Kalb, born in 1870. The artwork, currently housed in the Städel Museum, captures a group of camels from the Circus Krone, suggesting a sketch made during the artist's observations at the circus. Kalb's expressive lines, rendered in a loose and dynamic style, convey the animals' powerful forms and presence, hinting at the grandeur and spectacle of the circus environment.
