DescriptionThis is a sketch of three figures in medieval dress. The style of the drawing is typical of the Pre-Raphaelites. A woman in a bridal dress stands slightly behind and is linking arms with a man holding a branch in his right hand. The man is looking towards a third figure, who also holds a branch, but in the left hand. The third figure is bending forward to kiss the man's hand in a very awkward manner.
