The Peasant Wedding or the Twelve Months: 9-Egidius Herbstmon 10-Simon Weinmon is a 1546 by Sebald Beham, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows four people in a rough, outdoor scene. Two men in armor and hats stand with swords, while a woman in a loose dress points upward. Another man, half-naked with a laurel crown, leans on a spear. The ground is uneven with a few plants poking through. The names "Egidius Herbstmon" and "Simon Weinmon" are written above them, likely the characters’ names. The artist signed it with initials in the corner.
