Marriage at Cana is a 1750 by Charles-Nicolas Cochin, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Above them, figures on the balcony watch, some leaning on the railing. The architecture looks fancy, with columns, arches, and a distant church steeple.

The artwork is a print on paper depicting the Marriage at Cana, based on a composition by Paolo Veronese. It was created by Charles-Nicolas Cochin (II) in 1750.
