Image depicting a Jewish wedding within in a synagogue's courtyard, perhaps like James Lyon's wedding to Miss Hart (Feb. 15, 1826).

This painting perhaps demonstrates a Jewish wedding similar to what A.S. Lyon witnessed when his brother, James, married their longtime neighbor and friend, Miss Hart. This is a big family milestone and important to their Jewish family culture and history. Lyon states, "If they enjoyed all the happiness you wished upon them, they will be happy indeed!"
