"Wedding in the old-times Georgia" is a charming example of genre painting that captures a traditional wedding celebration, emphasizing cultural rituals like a toast. The scene is rendered with a naive art (primitivism) style, highlighting simplicity and innocence in its portrayal of local customs. The artist employs oil paints to create rich textures and warm colors that evoke a nostalgic atmosphere. Intriguingly, the setting features a traditional oilcloth surface, adding an authentic touch to the domestic scene. Overall, it is a vivid, heartfelt depiction of old Georgian traditions.
