Peter Marks met zijn vijfde vrouw 1779

This etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, titled "Peter Marks met zijn vijfde vrouw," depicts a wedding ceremony in a church. The scene is set in 1779, with a couple, likely Peter Marks and his fifth wife, taking their vows in front of an assembly of congregants. Chodowiecki's meticulous detail captures the architectural features of the church and the elaborate attire of the wedding party, offering a glimpse into the social customs and fashion of the era. This small work, measuring just 116 mm by 70 mm, is a testament to the artist's ability to convey narrative through a tightly framed composition, drawing viewers into the intimate moment of this historical marriage.
