Zevende slede 1776

"Zevende Slede" (Seventh Sledge), a watercolor by Abraham Delfos, depicts a grand procession in the Netherlands. The artwork, dating back to 1776, portrays a lavishly decorated sledge pulled by a horse adorned with a red and gold harness. The figures in the painting, dressed in ornate attire, are likely members of the aristocracy, emphasizing the importance of ceremony and status in 18th-century Dutch society. The detail and precision of Delfos's work capture the elegance and grandeur of the scene, offering a glimpse into the past. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Delfos's talent for depicting historical events and capturing the beauty of ceremonial occasions.
