This 19th-century print by Barend (III) Koene depicts a large ox and a camel, both rendered with anatomical detail. The animals are shown standing against a simple background, with the ox's anatomy highlighted in colorful hues. The title, translated as "A large fat ox and a large Turkish camel," suggests a focus on the animals' size and exoticism. The inscription beneath the camel, "The camel howls he hangs up on the ground, When they bring him his food, he goes in his path," adds a poetic element and reinforces the exotic nature of the subject. The work exemplifies the genre of scientific illustration, combining artistic skill with detailed anatomical observation.
