The print showcases the entrance to the Brides Palace in Pekin (now Beijing), where a momentous celebration is taking place. The scene is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring this historical event to life. Men and women dressed in traditional costumes can be seen bustling about, adding an air of elegance and grace to the occasion. The architecture surrounding them reflects the opulence of imperial palaces, creating a majestic backdrop for this joyous affair.
