Product Details:

Encampment, VA by Julian A. Scott is a depiction based on an 1862 photograph at Winchester, Virginia—centers on the tent of Colonel J. B. Wilson, surrounded by figures including the legendary Stonewall Jackson, J. E. B. Stuart, and an African‐American servant standing by. Scott’s composition respects hierarchy and camaraderie: officers converse in calm authority, while the servant’s presence subtly acknowledges the social realities of the era. By blending photographic accuracy with artistic interpretation, Scott offers both documentary detail and human warmth, capturing the charged atmosphere of wartime leadership and the quieter nuances of life in camp. With Encampment, VA, Scott not only commemorates the military presence of figures like Jackson and Stuart but also acknowledges the roles, however modest, of African Americans in camp life. The result is a measured yet rich portrayal of camp life: disciplined, hierarchical, and subtly human.
