Camel and Arabs c. mid 19th century

"Camel and Arabs" is a lithograph created by French artist Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps in the mid-19th century. The print depicts a camel laden with supplies and accompanied by several Arab figures. The scene is set against a backdrop of a Middle Eastern town, and the artist utilizes a skillful combination of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and realism in the composition. Decamps's interest in Orientalism is evident in this work, which reflects the growing fascination with the cultures and landscapes of the Middle East during the 19th century.
