A ceremony draped in velvet and silence. She stands in white — young, pale, resigned. He, old and self-assured, hides behind formality and wealth.
Painted in 1862 by Vasily Vladimirovich Pukirev, The Unequal Marriage is more than a wedding scene — it’s a protest in oil and brush. A haunting chronicle of love surrendered to status, of innocence traded for security.
Now printed on canvas, this work echoes across centuries — not just as a masterpiece, but as a mirror. Hang it, and let your wall speak of the silent compromises we make.
