"The First Marriage" is a watercolor painting by the renowned English artist Edward Burne-Jones. The artwork depicts a scene of three figures, likely angels, with the central figure being blindfolded and adorned with a crown of roses, while the other two figures stand beside her. The ethereal figures are rendered in soft, muted tones, with the colors transitioning from a pale pink to a deeper green. The background of the painting is a starlit sky, further emphasizing the celestial setting. This artwork is a quintessential example of Burne-Jones's Pre-Raphaelite style, which focused on symbolism, allegory, and a romanticized portrayal of medieval themes.
