A Camel 1646

Cornelis Saftleven's "A Camel" is a 1646 drawing depicting a camel standing in a landscape. Saftleven, a Dutch Golden Age artist, is known for his animal studies and landscapes. The detailed depiction of the camel's anatomy, particularly its hump and fur, showcases Saftleven's keen observation of nature. The background, with its distant hills and figures, adds a sense of depth and context to the composition. This drawing is a fine example of Saftleven's ability to capture the beauty and character of his subjects through precise and expressive lines.
