Camel with a rider and a kneeling figure in front 1628 - 1679

This detailed drawing by Guillaume Courtois, a prominent Baroque artist, depicts a camel with a rider and a kneeling figure in the foreground. Created between 1628 and 1679, the artwork showcases Courtois's mastery of capturing the intricacies of animal anatomy and human figures. The use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensional quality of the camel, while the rider's figure is sketched with dynamic lines, suggesting movement. This drawing likely served as a study for a larger painting, highlighting Courtois's meticulous approach to his art.
