This folding screen depicts scenes from the wedding of King Heonjong (r. 1834-1849). It is made of silk and measures 115 cm in width by 51 cm in length. This eight-panel screen depicts the wedding ceremony of King Heonjeong and Queen Hyojeong, whom he married after the death of his first wife, Queen Hyohyeon of the Andong Kim clan, in 1843 (the 9th year of the reign of King Heonjong). The first panel contains some words of celebration written by Jo Byeong-gu, the master of ceremonies at the wedding, while the eighth panel contains the names, titles and family clans of the participating officials. The wedding scenes and the interior of Changdeokgung Palace, including Injeongjeon Hall, are painted in magnificent fashion on the third to seventh panels. This well-preserved folding screen is considered both an extremely valuable artwork and an important historical material as it features scenes from a royal wedding held in the 19th century.
