Peasant Wedding
Peasant Wedding (1568, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria) by Pieter Bruegel the Elder is an oil painting on wood and depicts a wedding feast. In the 16th century, no more than 20 guests were allowed to participate at peasant celebrations, so the doorway on the left is filled with spectators.
