This ink drawing, "Studies for 'The Bride at Her Toilet on the Day of Her Wedding'", is a preparatory study for Sir David Wilkie's famous painting. Created between 1833 and 1838, it depicts the figures of a bride and a maid, their forms loosely sketched with emphasis on the flow of fabric and their postures. This artwork is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, and offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process.
