This 18th-century engraving by Dutch artist Simon Fokke depicts the wedding of Karel Christiaan of Nassau-Weilburg and Carolina, princess of Orange-Nassau. The image, likely commissioned to commemorate the event, shows a crowded church interior with the wedding party at the center and guests in the pews and galleries. The work provides a glimpse into Dutch aristocratic life and societal practices of the 18th century and can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
