Andreas Goeding's "Marriage at Cana" (1619) is a detailed pen and wash drawing depicting the biblical scene of the wedding at Cana, where Jesus turns water into wine. The composition is set within a grand hall, with a table laden with food and wine and a group of figures gathered around. The use of delicate lines and washes creates a sense of depth and realism, with the figures rendered in a naturalistic style. Goeding's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the various objects and textures, such as the fabric of the clothing and the patterns on the floor. This artwork is a fine example of 17th-century Northern European draughtsmanship, showcasing Goeding's mastery of the medium.
