This 15th-century woodcut depicts the biblical scene of Christ at the Wedding at Cana, in which Jesus performs his first miracle by turning water into wine. The scene is set at a table where several guests are seated. Christ stands to the left and points towards the six large water jars at the front, which are depicted as the source of the miracle. The inscription at the top of the image is in German and reads "Firldie Kinigin jhaylte de en Laufrnapfer ever gut in irn." This anonymous woodcut, created in Germany, was later hand-colored and is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
