A Wedding Scene
A wedding scene painting depicts a central couple seated on a decorated platform with intricate jewelry and ornate headdresses; the woman wears a red and yellow outfit, while the man wears red. They are surrounded by 14 people: two musicians on poles, four on the ground playing instruments, one fanning, and seven others engaged in various activities. The background features a beige color with a red sun or moon shape at the top. The overall style suggests a traditional Indian wedding scene. A Wedding Scene, artist unknown.
