Aert de Gelder's painting shows a bridal couple at a notary's office. The notary is seated and is writing in a register as his assistant looks over his shoulder. Opposite the notary an older woman is reading a document, in front of her on the table is an inkwell and beside her is a box of jewellery, presumably the dowry. The couple stand behind the notary and the bridegroom turns his bride's face towards him.
