Niemand sprak er (Nemo Loquebatur) 1741 - 1820

"Niemand sprak er" (Nemo Loquebatur), painted by Abraham Delfos between 1741 and 1820, depicts a scene of quiet contemplation in an opulent interior. The painting, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Delfos' mastery of depicting subtle details and the stillness of a gathering of people. This intimate watercolor, measuring 310 mm in height and 400 mm in width, captures the elegance of 18th-century Dutch society, with figures clad in fine attire and amidst luxurious furnishings.
