Dertiende slede 1776

Abraham Delfos’s "Dertiende Sled" is a watercolor painting from 1776 depicting a horse-drawn sled with two figures on board. The sled is ornately decorated with red and white stripes and gold accents. It is being pulled by a horse adorned with a lavish red and gold harness. Two men in front of the sled are holding flaming torches, which would have added to the grandeur of the scene. The painting showcases the Dutch artist's skill in capturing the details of 18th-century aristocratic life, and it provides an insight into the leisurely activities of the wealthy in the Netherlands during this era. The artwork can be viewed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
