Gasten en bruidspaar aan tafel c. 1523 - 1555

"Gasten en bruidspaar aan tafel" (Guests and Bride and Groom at the Table) is an engraving by Cornelis Bos, a Dutch artist born in 1510 and died in 1556. The scene depicts a group of people seated around a table, likely a wedding feast, as the groom is holding a veil over the bride's head. The intricate details of the clothing and the lively expressions of the figures are characteristic of Bos's style, which was influenced by the Northern Renaissance. This small work, measuring only 54 mm high and 80 mm wide, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
