Dans cette œuvre, Panini parvient à combiner habilement l'élément religieux avec son talent pour la peinture de veduta, qui met en valeur les détails architecturaux et les scènes urbaines. Le banquet de mariage se déroule dans un cadre somptueux, avec une attention particulière portée aux éléments décoratifs, aux colonnes élégantes et aux éléments architecturaux qui ornent la salle.
Les personnages présents à la célébration, qu'ils soient convives, serviteurs ou témoins du miracle, sont habilement intégrés à la composition, contribuant à l'ambiance festive et spirituelle de la scène. La palette de couleurs vives et chaleureuses ainsi que la lumière douce renforcent le sentiment de joie et d'émerveillement qui émane de l'événement.
