The artwork, titled “Scene III – Married. Couple Standing,” was crafted by the artist Cassius Marcellus Coolidge in the year 1877. It belongs to the art movement known as Kitsch and is categorized under the genre of illustration. This piece is part of the series “The Tale of a Wedded Life, in Ten Scenes.”
The artwork showcases a scene of a married couple standing together. The characters are depicted with exaggerated, caricature-like features, typical of Coolidge’s illustrative style. The man stands with a content expression, hands clasped in front, while the woman affectionately leans her head on his shoulder, conveying a sense of companionship and shared happiness in marriage. The background remains simple, ensuring that the viewer’s attention remains on the couple, highlighting the emotional connection between them as the focal point of the piece.
