This print captures the enchanting scene of an eve-of-the-wedding party in a Merchant's House during the first quarter of the 19th century. Painted by an anonymous artist, this exquisite piece can be found in the esteemed collection of State Hermitage in St. Petersburg. The image transports us to a time when traditional customs and elaborate headdresses were integral parts of Russian weddings. The women donned stunning traditional costumes, complete with intricate headgear known as kokoshniks, showcasing their pride in their heritage and cultural identity. Amidst the joyous atmosphere, we witness moments of amusement and camaraderie among the bridal party. This painting beautifully encapsulates not only the anticipation surrounding matrimony but also highlights elements of folklore and ancient Russian traditions that were prevalent during "domostroy" times. As we delve into this snapshot from old Russia, we are reminded of how weddings have always been significant milestones symbolizing love and unity. The bride-to-be radiates with excitement while surrounded by her loved ones who gather to celebrate her upcoming union. This oil-on-copper masterpiece is a testament to fine artistry, capturing both historical context and emotional depth within its genre. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era where tradition blended seamlessly with celebration – creating memories that would last for generations to come.
