A Piper at Cobham Camp is a 1854 watercolor by Lami, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man in a kilt, wearing a feathered hat and a dark jacket. He's holding bagpipes and has a Union Jack flag attached to them. The man is standing on a rocky surface, and there's a cloudy sky behind him. The man's clothing and the flag suggest he might be part of a military or cultural group. The painting's style is detailed and realistic, which was common during the mid-19th century. If you like this painting, you might want to learn more about the Impressionism movement.
This artist left a quiet record of 19th-century life in watercolor, mostly scenes of British soldiers and buildings.
