Endpaper with Peasant Wedding is a 1780 ink by Paul Reimund, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a big square of red paper with gold pictures all over it. There are lots of tiny scenes—people dancing, eating, riding horses, and playing music. Some look like weddings, others like parties or work. The gold stands out against the red, making everything pop. The paper looks old and worn, like it was used before. The artist used a method called woodcut, where they carved images into wood and stamped them. Look up woodcut to see how this printing trick works.
