Camp of the Arawaks or Caribbean, At this camp of the Arawaks or Caribbean, the huts are very simple and mainly serve as shelter from the sun and rain. The roof of leaves reaches down to the ground. The floor is the white sandy soil of the savannah. Hammocks hang in the huts. There is a cooking area next to one of the cabins. It is not clear whether Huygens drew members of the Arawak or Caribbean tribe here. Both belong to the population groups that live on the lower reaches of the rivers, in the coastal region of Suriname. Because these population groups are originally nomads, their villages are also called camps or encampments., drawing, draughtsman: Hendrik Huygens, Paramaribo, after 20-Aug-1849 - before Sep-1851, paper, brush, height, 27.6 cm × width, 38.3 cm
