"Bruiloftsstoet" (Wedding Procession) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Wouter Schouten, created around 1660. The drawing depicts a crowded scene of a wedding procession, capturing the lively atmosphere of a 17th-century Dutch celebration. Schouten's loose, gestural style and careful use of line effectively convey the movement and energy of the crowd, highlighting the importance of social gatherings in Dutch society. This sketch is a valuable glimpse into the everyday life of people during the Golden Age of the Netherlands.
