drunken Noah, Ham mocking, Shem and Japheth facepalmingGenesis 9:20-24 ‘Cœpitque Noe vir agricola exercere terram, et plantavit vineam. Bibensque vinum inebriatus est, et nudatus in tabernaculo suo. Quod cum vidisset Cham, pater Chanaan, verenda scilicet patris sui esse nudata, nuntiavit duobus fratribus suis foras. At vero Sem et Japheth pallium imposuerunt humeris suis, et incedentes retrorsum, operuerunt verenda patris sui: faciesque eorum aversæ erant, et patris virilia non viderunt.’ ('And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.’)Biblia Pauperum, Netherlands ca. 1395-1400.British Library, Kings 5, fol. 15r -- source link
