A deeply personal charcoal pencil sketch by Helena De Kay Gilder capturing a quiet yet evocative moment from her 1874 wedding to poet and editor Richard Watson Gilder. Depicted in her wedding gown, with Gilder in his signature kimono, the drawing blends elegance with an intimate, bohemian spirit reflective of the couple's shared artistic ideals.
