The Camp Barber is a 1888 oil by Édouard Detaille, a Realism work, held at Walters Art Museum.
This painting depicts a scene of three men in military uniforms, with one man seated on a folding chair and the other two standing on either side of him. The man on the left is holding a straight razor and appears to be shaving the seated man, while the man on the right looks on. The background of the painting is a camp setting, with other soldiers visible in the distance. The painting is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the uniforms and equipment of the soldiers. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the scene. The Camp Barber is a painting by Édouard Detaille, held at the Walters Art Museum.
