Annotation
Depict the parents of the groom (?), who are choosing a propitious day for a wedding. The father of the groom is holding a half-opened fan, a symbol of good fortune and prosperity for his descendants. In front of the fortuneteller we see a compass and an almanac showing lucky and unlucky days. In the basket we see drinking vessels.
