DescriptionA scene from the Bible depicting the story of Jesus and the Last Supper. There are 11 figures seated around a long table. The central figure (Jesus) is the largest and has a halo around his head, and he is gesticulating with his hands towards the figures on either side of him. The figure to the right of Jesus has his hands up to his mouth in an appearance of shock. A pitcher, bowls, plates and bread are laid upon the table. All the other men seated at the table wear expressions of sadness or disbelief.On View
