‘The Arranged Marriage’ or ‘The Unequal Marriage’ (1862). Vasili Pukirev (1832-90 Russian). Oil on canvas, 173 × 136.5 cm. The State Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow). So much going on in this picture. In the background, people exchange knowing glimpses, the connotation of which depends, in part, on their ages. #vasilipukirev #pukirev #arrangedmarriage #tretyakovgallery

There is something about classic russian wedding traditions.

For example, we can see misalliance, wich was very common in the 19th century.

Also you should know, that matchmaking was very common too.
