Christ and his apostles are sitting in a circle. Behind them, many people have gathered to hear Christ speak. The apostles did not bring enough bread for these listeners. Christ blesses the seven loaves and two fishes that a child brings and everyone could eat (John 6:1-13). The print has a Latin caption; it is part of a series on the life of Christ.
