The Bridal Dress is a 1902 oil by Charles Mertens, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
This painting depicts two women in a dining room. The woman on the left stands tall, wearing a long, dark dress and a white headscarf. She faces forward, her hands by her sides. The woman on the right sits on the floor, dressed in a brown dress and a white headscarf. She looks down, her hands in her lap. The room features a table with a white tablecloth, set with plates and a vase of flowers. The walls are adorned with dark wood paneling, and the floor is covered with a striped rug. The woman standing in the center of the room commands attention, her dark dress a striking contrast to the lighter tones of the room. The seated woman, on the other hand, seems lost in thought, her gaze downward. This painting is held at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
Charles Mertens, Karel Jozef Mertens or Karel Mertens (Antwerp, 14 April 1865 – Calverley, England, 20 February 1919) was a Belgian draughtsman, painter, muralist, etcher and illustrator.
