A horn visible on the wall at back left suggests the artist was not entirely accurate in depicting the subjects of this work, as such a method of summoning was antiquated, a theory also supported by the white tassel of the red-capped figure in the foreground.
A horn visible on the wall at back left suggests the artist was not entirely accurate in depicting the subjects of this work, as such a method of summoning was antiquated, a theory also supported by the white tassel of the red-capped figure in the foreground. A seated figure at front left sports a peacock feather and lies next to a man recombining various flasks, while a group of minstrels play instruments behind them. The yellow walls and prominent coat of arms reflect the theme of wheat, and indicate a level of wealth in contrast to the painting's title. A green sheet hangs behind a new bride, who joins a contingent of raucous guests at the title event. FTP, identify this painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, which purports to depict lower-class nuptials.
