EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of a lively gathering in the 18th century. This pastel and gouache print by Cornelis Troost transports us to an elegant interior, where distinguished gentlemen are engaged in animated conversation. The scene unfolds at the house or club of Biberius, initially starting off as a respectable affair but gradually descending into delightful chaos fueled by copious amounts of drink. The composition showcases the opulence and refinement of Dutch society during this period. The men, dressed impeccably in richly adorned waistcoats and powdered wigs, sit together in a relaxed yet dignified manner. Their buckled shoes and breeches reflect their status as wealthy individuals. Amidst the convivial atmosphere, we observe various elements that add depth to the narrative. A servant attends to their needs while they indulge in smoking pipes, adding an air of relaxation to the scene. A roaring fire crackles within a grand fireplace, casting warm light on the group as they engage with one another. Troost's attention to detail is evident through his inclusion of intricate objects such as a globe and clock, symbolizing intellectual pursuits amidst social gatherings. As time passes unnoticed within these walls, flirtation begins to emerge subtly among some attendees. This artwork captures not only an intimate reunion but also offers insight into societal norms and customs prevalent during this era. "Loquebantur Omnes (Everyone was talking)" serves as both
