The Camel House, Zoological Gardens is a 1941 watercolor by Swan, a british_romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a simple wooden building with a tall clock tower on top. The roof is slanted, and there’s a fence around the yard. Two camels stand near the fence—one sitting, one walking. The background is faint, with a few trees and a blurry sky. The clock tower has a weather vane on top, and the building looks like it might be a shelter. The artist used light pencil lines and soft watercolor washes to keep it loose and sketchy. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
