This 18th-century broadside print by Johannes (II) Kannewet depicts a miraculous event. The central image shows a woman being lifted into the air by a rope, while a bull lies beneath her. This scene, likely inspired by a local legend, was a popular subject for broadsides during this period. Kannewet's use of intricate floral borders and detailed imagery further emphasizes the wonder and awe of this event. "Dit wonder-werk zeer wel bekend" is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
