Three Camel Heads

Stefano Della Bella

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a detailed etching of three camels captured in bust form from the chest up. The camel in the middle is facing slightly to the left, with its nostrils flaring and pronounced features. On either side, the camels are in profile, facing the center camel. All three camels have intricately detailed fur, emphasizing their shaggy and unkempt coats, especially around the top of their heads resembling a thick mane. The background is plain.
