Large Wedding Dancers

Heinrich Aldegrever

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two full-length figures, a man and a woman, standing closely together. The woman stands slightly in front of the man, both facing left. The woman has intricate facial features and her hair is styled elegantly, adorned with a detailed jeweled crown. She is dressed in an elaborate gown decorated with embroidery and jewels and holds a small purse. The man beside her has subtler facial features and wears a soft cap. He is dressed in an equally elaborate outfit, including a fur-trimmed cloak and tunic, holding a walking cane. The background contains the initials 'J E' in the upper left corner and the number '4' in the upper right corner.
