About this work

This drawing shows a camel with its head turned slightly to the left. The background is mostly blank with some faint lines and shapes that look like buildings or trees. The camel’s fur is drawn in quick, dark strokes, and the ground is a light orange-brown color. The camel’s legs are long and thin, but the artist didn’t make them look perfectly realistic. Instead, the lines are loose and sketchy, almost like a quick doodle. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
