Adrien Herbert's The Big Tent depicts a scene rendered in a loose, impressionistic style with washes of color that give a sense of activity and movement. The tent structure has a peak and is supported by wires or cables, implying it is quite expansive. Figures in various shades of dark colors are shown in front of the tent, some in conversation, others walking or standing, suggesting a gathering or event is taking place. There are also hints of trees in the background, which adds to the outdoor setting.


Hebert's use of light and shadow suggests the time of day might be either early morning or late afternoon, where the light is not directly overhead. The piece captures the essence of a moment in time, with the figures sketched in a way that conveys their movement and the liveliness of the scene. The painting is signed bottom right by the artist, giving it authenticity and provenance.
