"Waiting Camels" is a painting by Marcus Waterman, an American Orientalist painter known for his works depicting scenes from his travels in the Middle East and North Africa. The painting is characteristic of the Orientalist genre, which was popular among European and American artists in the 19th century. Orientalist art often romanticized and exoticized the cultures of the East, presenting them through a Western lens that blended fascination with fantasy.

In "Waiting Camels," Waterman captures a moment of stillness in a desert landscape, likely inspired by his travels. The camels are depicted at rest, possibly awaiting their Bedouin handlers or the next leg of a journey. The painting is noted for its attention to detail, from the texture of the camels' fur to the subtle interplay of light and shadow in the desert environment. Waterman's use of color and his ability to convey the heat and vastness of the desert contribute to the work's evocative quality.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it falls within the period of Waterman's most active years as an artist, which spanned the late 19th to early 20th centuries. "Waiting Camels" reflects the broader cultural trends of its time, when Western audiences were eager for images of the "Orient" that conveyed a sense of otherness and adventure. As with many Orientalist works, the painting can be viewed through a contemporary lens that considers the historical context of colonialism and the ways in which the East was portrayed by Western artists.

"Waiting Camels" is part of Waterman's body of work that contributes to our understanding of Orientalism in American art history. While it may not be as widely recognized as the works of some of his contemporaries, it remains a testament to the allure that the Middle East held for Western artists during this period and serves as an example of the Orientalist aesthetic in American painting.
