Depicted is the traditional Russian rite of the viewing of the bride by the groom''''s relatives. The painting conveys real details of peasant life of the period: the celebratory clothes and the interior of the izba with the traditional icons in what is known as the red (main) corner. This work was done for a competition for a minor gold medal and was shown at an exhibition at the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1861.
