A Cairo Street Scene With Camels is a 1870 watercolor by Frank V. Norie, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a street scene with camels and a few people. The camels are loaded with large, curved saddles, and the buildings behind them look old and worn. The colors are mostly browns and grays, with quick, loose brushstrokes. The artist focused on daily life, capturing movement and light in a simple way. The style looks like it was drawn fast, almost like a quick note of what they saw. Check out more works by Norie, Frank V. to see how he handled light and movement in other sketches.
A watercolour drawing titled *A Cairo Street Scene With Camels* was created by Frank V. Norie in 1870. The work was purchased from Walter T. Spencer in August 1963 according to Rodney Searight’s records.
