1878
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A Camel is a 1878 watercolor by William Strutt, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a camel standing sideways, its long legs and humped back filling most of the page. The artist used quick, loose lines and soft watercolors—no hard edges. In the corner, a small figure sits on the ground, barely sketched in. The camel’s fur is suggested with faint strokes, not detailed. The paper’s edge is visible, and the whole thing feels like a quick study, not a polished work. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sketches like this.
This watercolour drawing depicts a camel and was created by William Strutt in 1878. The artist’s presence in Egypt during that year is evidenced by other works in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection, including two drawings of Nubians dated July and August 1878.
