Liggende kamel 1624 - 1674

"Liggende kamel" (Reclining Camel) is a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Jan van Ossenbeeck, now part of the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The artwork depicts a camel lying down, possibly tethered, with two other camels visible in the background. The detailed lines of the etching capture the animal's anatomy and textures, characteristic of Ossenbeeck's realistic style. The work is considered a fine example of animal studies prevalent in Dutch art during the period.
