Large Wedding Dancers

Heinrich Aldegrever

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three men playing wind instruments. The man on the left is playing a bagpipes-like instrument, the middle man is playing a larger wind instrument, and the man on the right is playing a similar large instrument. They are dressed in elaborate garments with buttons and sashes, and the man on the right wears a cape with a circular emblem on the shoulder. Their features are roughly drawn with expressive facial lines and furrowed brows. The background is plain with the numbers "76" and "12" visible.
