Two Fighting Camels, Iran, Isfahan, ca. 1630, Ink and opaque watercolour on paper, AKM75
Description
A camel fight--whether featuring two-humped camels or the one-humped dromedaries seen here--is a frequent theme in the art of Iran and Mughal India reflecting the importance of camels in transport, trade, and culture. The sense of violent movement evoked by the image conveys the power of this essential animal, while the mirroring of the two figures demonstrates the artist's skill.
