Marriage of Margaret of Austria and Philip III is a 1612 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a busy wedding scene. A bride and groom stand at the front. Around them, guests watch or chat. Some people are dressed in fancy clothes, others look like servants. The room has tall windows and a raised platform where musicians play. The artist used sharp lines to show every detail. The scene feels crowded but organized. This is a wedding from long ago, drawn with care. Want to see more? Look up etching.
