The Tartar Camp is a 1767 oil by Jean-Baptiste Le Prince, a Rococo painting work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The painting depicts a group of people in a rocky, wooded area. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and rocks, with a few figures in the foreground. The people are dressed in various attire, with some wearing turbans and others in more traditional clothing. In the center of the painting, a man on horseback stands out, wearing a pink robe and a white turban. He appears to be addressing a group of people, who are gathered around him. The atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the figures seeming to be engaged in a peaceful discussion.
