The Camel

Rodolphe Bresdin

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a camel with elaborate gear accompanied by two running dogs. The image features a standing camel with ornate equipment including blankets, a spear, and small ornaments. The camel is detailed with fur textures and accurate proportions. Two dogs are depicted at the bottom of the drawing in motion. The scene implies a desert setting with minimal background. The drawing style resembles classic pen-and-ink illustrations.
