Ziet kind'ren ziet een poosje, / Kent gij deze bruiloft niet? / 't is die van Kloris en zijn Roosje, / Wat deez' prent u hier aanbied 1820 - 1848

This print by Mindermann & Co. presents a series of scenes, each a tableau of what seems to be a wedding celebration. The composition, divided into eight distinct frames, uses a limited palette of muted colors, primarily focusing on form and structure. The figures, identifiable by their postures and costumes, are arranged within confined spaces, suggesting a deliberate staging. Notice how the artist uses lines and shapes to define the characters and their interactions, offering a glimpse into 18th-century social rituals. Each frame is a semiotic field, encoding social gestures and communal practices through visual symbols. The sequential narrative invites us to interpret the wedding as a performance. Yet, the reduction of detail and the almost schematic representation of the figures challenge the notion of individual expression. The print engages with broader questions about representation and the construction of collective identity through art.
