Description:
In this black and white image there are five discernable figures of centaurs and two birds. In the foreground there are 3 centaurs, two male surrounding a female. The one on the right seems to be pushing the resistant bride toward the centaur on her left who is tenaciously grabbing onto the female's left arm. In the background, there is a centaur couple embracing each other and a bird above them.
