Nineteenth-century wedding scene
Secure checkout with Stripe
A painting about the weight of life-altering decisions. Drawing on the political and religious beliefs that surround marriage and the division of wealth, The Obligation captures the single moment men and women know will shape the rest of their future.
A crowded nineteenth-century interior. A bride in pale blue-white silk sits at the center, surrounded by women in full gowns of navy, crimson and gold, while clergy and men in dark robes gather behind them beneath red drapery and a coat of arms.
