About the piece

Created in 1697 by Pieter van Bloemen, this work masterfully depicts the everyday rhythm of camp life. The composition is anchored by several skillfully rendered horses and a donkey in the foreground, while a trumpeter signals near the tents, all set against the vast, atmospheric sky characteristic of the Flemish Baroque style.
