Huwelijk tussen Apollo en een jonge dame 1833

This 1833 print by Daniël (I) Veelwaard depicts the marriage of Apollo, the Greek god of music, poetry, and the sun, to a young woman. The scene is set in a formal setting with the couple standing before a table. Apollo is easily identified by his laurel wreath and bow and arrow, while the young woman wears a veil and a simple gown. The artist's detailed depiction of the figures and the scene highlights the romantic and symbolic nature of the union. This print, a small work measuring only 143 mm in height and 98 mm in width, is housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing Veelwaard's contribution to Dutch artistic production.
