Noce de Village (Village Wedding) is a 1785 ink by Charles-Melchior Descourtis, a Romanticism work, depicting Tent, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a lively village scene with people dancing and playing music. The scene is full of energy and movement. It's interesting because the artist used a lot of detail to show what village life was like back then, like the clothes people wore and the food they ate. You can learn more about this style by looking at the technique: etching.
Charles-Melchior Descourtis (1753–1820) was a French artist, born in Paris.
