Study of Camels
The image depicts a pencil drawing on aged paper titled "Study of Camels" by an unidentified artist. The drawing features two scenes with camels and people. The top scene shows a standing camel with a person on its back and another person standing beside it. The camel faces left; it has a hump on its back and a saddle. The person riding the camel wears a robe and sits on a cushion; their back is turned. The person standing beside the camel wears a long robe and a head covering. The bottom scene shows a camel lying on the ground with a person kneeling beside it. The camel's head is on the left; it faces right. The camel has a large load on its back. The background in both scenes appears to be rocky ground; shading and texture suggest uneven terrain. The paper is aged and stained; edges are rough, and texture is visible.
