This 17th-century tapestry, "Country Wedding," depicts a festive scene of a wedding celebration in the countryside. The work is anonymous but showcases the artistry and attention to detail common in European tapestries of the period. The composition is rich with symbolism, featuring figures, animals, and landscapes that convey the joy and abundance of the occasion. This work is on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art and is a valuable example of the textile art tradition of the 17th century.
