The Bridesmaid is an 1851 oil painting by the British artist John Everett Millais. It depicts a young woman, having served as a bridesmaid, passing a piece of wedding cake through a ring nine times. These were traditional gestures in the belief they would show an image of a husband for her in the near future.
