Persian Camel

Antoine-Louis Barye

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a camel with two humps, elongated legs, a curved neck, and a detailed head. It is crafted from a material that appears mottled dark green with lighter green highlights. The texture gives it a lifelike quality, with the camel in a natural stance. The sculpture is on a rectangular base mimicking terrain, complementing the animal's body.
