Description: | In this imitation of a seventeenth-century Dutch painting by Wouwerman, an encampment is set in fields, with a copse to the left. At the centre of the composition is a well-dressed man mounted on a horse laded with bags, he raises his tankard; his travelling companion has dismounted and embraces a woman and a child with an empty bowl approaches her. Mid-field, a horse rests, more horses appear in a pen in the background where there are more tents and a canon. Accoutrements in the foreground left include a beer barrel, a saddle to the right, a pile of straw and a pitchfork. There are more figures in the distance. | Subjects: | animal (horse); everyday life; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Wouwerman, Pieter (Dutch painter, 1623-1682) Æ Imitator of Previously attributed to school of Wouwerman, Pieter (Dutch painter, 1623-1682) Previously attributed to Wouwerman, Pieter (Dutch painter, 1623-1682) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8378... | Go to resource |
