One scene of a wedding: ladies dining with the bride, is a 1880 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a busy indoor scene with lots of people gathered around long tables. The room has bright red carpets, white walls, and fancy red lanterns hanging from the ceiling. Servants in blue and white uniforms carry trays of food, while guests sit eating and talking. At the center, a bride in red stands out, surrounded by family and friends. Two dogs play on the floor near the tables, adding a lively touch. Notice how the artist used bold colors and clear lines to show the activity. The bright reds and blues make the scene feel energetic, while the careful details of the clothing and furniture add realism.

The painting depicts a rectangular scene in which two long dining tables extend into the background and join a third to form a horseshoe arrangement, with diners seated behind tables set with crockery. Lanterns hang from the ceiling above the gathering. Originally part of an album containing thirty-five paintings of various processions, this work was acquired from Parsons & Sons in 1898 and is now held as part of a numbered series.
