Tweede slede 1776

"Tweede slede" (Second Sledge) is a watercolor painting by Abraham Delfos, a Dutch artist known for his detailed depictions of everyday life. The painting depicts a grand sledge pulled by a pair of horses, elaborately adorned with ornate harnesses. Four figures sit inside the sledge, dressed in fine attire and playing musical instruments, suggesting a celebratory occasion. The painting is a prime example of Delfos’s meticulous style, capturing the richness and elegance of 18th-century Dutch society. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
