About the piece

Painted around 1650, this work by Dutch master Philips Wouwerman captures the quiet moments of life in an army camp. The composition is anchored by a luminous white horse—a signature motif of the artist—set against the muted earth tones of the tents and an expansive, atmospheric sky typical of the Golden Age.
