A multitude of people inhabits Waldmüller’s Lower Austrian Country Wedding. At the center are the bride and groom, while to their left a budding couple seem to be enjoying a flirtation. On the podium behind them, the band is already playing for the dancers. On the right is Höldrich Mill in Hinterbrühl near Mödling, a picturesque region south of Vienna. Waldmüller has combined this with the church from Perchtoldsdorf to form a stage-like backdrop for the events. And the figures, too, have been grouped as if on a stage, even down to the two groups of children on the “apron.” Waldmüller is therefore not depicting a real wedding but one that could have happened, with all its little episodes and sub-plots.
