This cartoon for the tapestry of 'The Miraculous Draft of Fishes' was commissioned by Pope Leo X for the Sistine Chapel. It shows two boats on the water. On the left Christ is seated, with the Apostles Peter and Andrew in astonishment before him. Their boat is full of fish. The second boat shows two fishermen hauling in their nets full of fish, while another steers the boat. In the foreground is a group of birds. In the distance on the right is the shore with crowds and buildings.
