Ceremonial uniform, gilded epaulettes and chin held high: a camel poses like a decorated officer, in the spirit of court portraits painted by the old masters. The sitter's gravity and the majesty of the classical frame collide with real flair against the animal's humped silhouette, for a result as noble as it is amusing. You almost look for the glorious battles behind that proud gaze, before remembering this is a dromedary in full dress. Every braid and medal is rendered with a care that only sharpens the comedy of the scene.

This portrait belongs to our series of animals in full regalia, part of our Animal Portraits collection. It brings character to a study, a library or a vintage-minded living room and will appeal to lovers of classical art given a mischievous twist. Displayed among books, it takes on the air of a genuine relic from some forgotten campaign.
