Gypsy Camp in a Roman Ruin is a 1671 oil by Johann Heinrich Roos, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Städel Museum.
This painting shows a group of people gathered in front of a large, old building that's falling apart. They're all dressed in loose, casual clothes and are sitting or standing around each other. Some are looking at the viewer, while others are busy with their own things. There's a horse and some other animals in the scene too. The painting has a lot of warm, earthy colors like brown and beige, which gives it a cozy feel. The old building in the background is covered in plants and vines, which adds to the sense of age and neglect.
