Landscape scene where stands out the presence of a camel located in the left zone in the composition, while in the center there are several characters with horses. The landscape allowed the viewer to enjoy idealized natural scenes, evoking tranquility and beauty in intimate spaces. Such works were often inspired by the Dutch and Flemish landscape tradition of the 17th century, with scenes that not only captured nature, but also conveyed moods through the use of color and light. The small format required great precision and technical mastery, making these pieces true artistic achievements.
Moreover, in a world of European aristocracy, these landscapes could serve as reminders of places visited or as ideal images of a pastoral and orderly world. The miniature, because of its portability, also offered a personal and contemplative experience, bringing the viewer closer to nature, even in urban or remote contexts.
