"Those Who Could Walk Did; The Others Fell" is a 1768 drawing by Dutch artist Sara Troost. The piece depicts a scene outside of a building at night. It appears to be a parting between two people, one of whom is being helped into a carriage. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, highlights Troost's skilled use of light and shadow to capture the drama of this everyday moment. The scene is rendered with meticulous detail and captures the nuances of social interactions in 18th-century Dutch society.
Comments
In this final scene, the gathering has drawn to a close. The host toasts with one of his guests for the last time, while another one leans over the balustrade, vomiting. In the foreground, a drunkard is being supported by his servant, but is evidently still sufficiently awake to grope the maidservant’s bosom. The man in the coach waits impatiently on two intimately embracing gentlemen.
