Encampment at Delft, August 1787
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolor drawing by the Dutch artist P.A. Robart, showcasing the Vliegend Legertje (Flying Army) encamped outside the city of Delft, in the province of South Holland, Netherlands. The scene depicts the military camp set up in a lush meadow, with rows of tents of the Freikorps (free corps) arranged neatly, ready for drill and exercise. On the left side, an avenue of trees lines the thoroughfare, leading to the city, with people and carriages passing by, adding a sense of movement and activity to the scene. The drawing, titled "Afbeelding van het Burger-Leger, zoo als hetzelve heeft Gecampeerd na by de stad Delft: van den 21sten tot den 30sten Augustus 1787" (View of the camp of the Vliegend Legertje as it was pitched outside Delft: from the 21st to the 30th of August 1787), is a testament to the rural landscape of the Netherlands during the 18th century. The natural beauty of the countryside is juxtaposed with the military presence, highlighting the contrast between the peaceful rural life and the preparations for war. The meticulous attention to detail in the drawing is evident in the depiction of the soldiers, their tents, and the trees and plants in the foreground. The use of color and ink adds depth and texture to the scene, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Dutch heritage art. The encampment at Delft is a popular tourist attraction and a significant historical site, drawing visitors from around the world to explore the rich history of the Netherlands. This drawing by P.A. Robart is a beautiful representation of a moment in time, capturing the essence of the military camp and the rural landscape of the Netherlands during the 18th century.
