From the Painting Guide: The reproduction of this painting is unfortunately obscuring much of the detail and it's rather difficult to differentiate the figures and animals around the campfire, you need to look very carefully. To me the painting is caught between two genres: as a landscape the camp is far too intrusive and as a campfire scene there is too much peripheral information. It would be an interesting exercise to sketch this composition first as a more close-up scene of the campsite, and then as a broader landscape with the campsite being a much smaller element within it.
