About the piece

Painted by Dutch Golden Age master Philips Wouwerman around 1650, this work captures a lively army camp with remarkable detail in the figures and horses. The composition is anchored by equestrian subjects and soaring banners, set against the artist's signature vast, cloud-filled sky that bathes the scene in a natural, diffused light.
