Encampment (Soldiers' Halt) is a 1725 oil by Jean-Baptiste Pater, held at National Museum of Western Art.
This painting depicts a lively outdoor scene with a group of people gathered around a tent. The group is dressed in 18th-century attire, with men wearing hats and women in long dresses. In the background, a few buildings are visible, including a tall tower. The sky above is blue with white clouds. A closer look reveals a man in a red coat, possibly a military officer, standing out among the crowd. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of energy and movement in the scene.
