"A Gypsy Encampment" is a painting by the 19th-century British artist William Joseph Shayer (1811–1892), known for his landscapes and animal subjects, particularly those depicting rural scenes and gypsy life. The painting illustrates a group of Romani people, commonly referred to as gypsies during the period, settled temporarily in a rural setting. Shayer's work often reflects the romanticized view of gypsy life that was prevalent in Victorian England, showing a picturesque and idyllic scene that contrasts with the harsh realities faced by the Romani people.

The composition typically features a variety of elements that were characteristic of Shayer's depictions of gypsy encampments: caravans, horses, domestic activities, and figures in period attire engaged in daily life. The painting's detailed rendering of the figures and their environment reflects Shayer's skill in capturing the nuances of light and atmosphere, contributing to the viewer's sense of immersion in the scene.

As an artist, William Joseph Shayer was largely self-taught and gained recognition for his ability to portray the English countryside with authenticity and charm. "A Gypsy Encampment" is considered part of this genre, and it contributes to the broader understanding of Shayer's oeuvre and the cultural representation of the Romani people in art history. The painting is an example of Shayer's contribution to the genre of social landscape painting, which not only offers aesthetic appeal but also provides historical insight into the lives of marginalized communities during the Victorian era.

The work is held in private collections and has occasionally appeared in art auctions, where it continues to attract interest for its artistic merit and as a reflection of the social attitudes of its time. As with many of Shayer's paintings, "A Gypsy Encampment" serves as a window into the 19th-century British pastoral tradition, capturing a way of life that was both idealized and subject to change during the period of its creation.
