This scene shows a group of soldiers and horses in front of old stone ruins. Some men are mounted, others stand or sit near tents and wagons. A blacksmith’s anvil sits in the foreground, with a dog lying nearby. The ruins behind them have arched windows and crumbling walls. The horses look well-cared-for, while the soldiers chat or tend to their animals. The ruins add a sense of history to the camp.
