From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Three Camel Heads is a 1649 ink by Stefano Della Bella, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You're looking at a sketch of three camel heads. The sketch is done in black and white, with lots of lines that make the camels' fur look fluffy. The camels are looking in different directions, and their heads are all a little different. The sketch is very detailed, with lots of texture and shading that makes the camels look real. The artist must have spent a lot of time getting all the little details just right. If you like this kind of detailed, realistic art, you might want to check out more works by the Baroque movement.
Stefano della Bella (18 May 1610 – 12 July 1664) was an Italian draughtsman and printmaker known for etchings of a great variety of subjects, including military and court scenes, landscapes, and lively genre scenes.
