Description
Three Dromedaries brings a group of single-humped camels into focus. The Metropolitan Museum of Art identifies the undated etching as a work after Rembrandt, a qualification that distinguishes its maker from the artist whose composition it follows. The animals themselves give the image its character and make it an unusual subject within the wider body of Rembrandt-related art.
The grouping encourages comparison between the three animals and the forms that identify them: long necks, substantial bodies and distinctive humps. Etched line provides a means of studying those shapes and their relationship within one composition. The subject has the direct appeal of an animal study, inviting the viewer to consider familiar descriptive features in an uncommon group. It also shows how such studies could be carried forward by other makers.
