A young woman dressed in bridal garments and surrounded by friends boards a gondola. A dashing man with a black moustache hands her into the boat. Her friends, clad in black clothes, surround her and see her off. A little page with a dark face and turban stands next to her. He is dressed in heavily ornamented brocades.
