About the artwork:

The Unequal Marriage (1862) by Vasili Pukirev is a haunting critique of forced marriages in 19th-century Russia. At the center of the painting, a young woman stands solemn and resigned as she weds a much older man, while the people around them appear indifferent or complicit, emphasizing the societal norms that allowed such arrangements. The contrast between the bride’s pale, tense expression and the groom’s smug demeanor underscores the imbalance of power. Pukirev included himself in the painting as one of the somber onlookers, suggesting a personal connection—rumored to be inspired by a woman he loved who was married off for convenience. Subtle details, like the ghostly figures behind the priest, hint at the haunting nature of the union and the silent tragedy unfolding beneath the surface of what should be a joyous occasion.
