This black and white woodcut by Hans Schäufelein, dated 1480–1540, depicts the biblical story of the miraculous draught of fishes. Christ appears on the right, standing in the shallows of a lake, with the apostles, who are in a small boat, struggling to pull in a net full of fish. The artwork is a fine example of the German Renaissance, known for its intricate detail, realistic figures, and emphasis on religious subject matter. The "Miraculous Draught of Fishes" is held in the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
