The Marriage at Cana

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group gathered around a table. The scene depicts a circular table with a detailed cloth draped over it, set with dishes. Surrounding the table are several figures in period attire, featuring intricate line work suggestive of elaborate clothing. These figures are arranged in a semi-circle. One figure seated at the center seems to be illuminated by radiating lines. The scene is delicately sketched with fine lines that capture the intricate details of the figures and setting.
