This rectangular Renaissance oil painting portrays a scene from the Christian Bible - Jesus’ first miracle, where he turned water into wine. The painting shows a banquet with a dozen people, men and women, being served food and drink while sitting at a large rectangular table covered with a white cloth. There are scores of other diners, servers, and observers in the background. In the foreground a servant on the left hands a guest a glass while another servant on the right pours water from one of several large urns into another urn. A brown dog sleeps in the midst of all this action. Behind the servants, Jesus is centered at the main table facing the viewer. His head is slightly turned in animated conversation with the woman on his right. They smile and gesture to each other. There are three guests to each side of Jesus, one guest at each end of the table and three on the other side. All those celebrating are well dressed in gowns and robes in a subdued pallet of tan, yellow, green or brownish red. The scene seems busy and noisy: guests are gesturing expansively, or conversing, eating, and drinking in small groups as the servants bustle around the table with more food. Two less prominent tables at the wedding banquet are behind the main table. One is perpendicular to the main table and to a wall with three open arches surrounded by five doric columns. A crowd of people standing in the background are behind that wall looking into the main dining room. Three musicians perform on a staircase that leads to a mezzanine where a secondary table of guests is located.
