Baggage Camel is a 1893 watercolor by Frederick Goodall, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This camel stands still on a flat, light ground. It’s loaded with a yellow cloth draped over its back, tied with ropes and a wooden pole across its shoulders. The camel’s fur looks rough and textured, with a mix of brown and tan colors. The painting uses soft, loose brushstrokes—no hard lines, just gentle shading to show shape. The light is even, with no strong shadows, making the camel look calm and simple. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this watercolor in person.
