Christ at Emmaus by Benjamin West: A painting depicting a scene with four men seated around a table. The man on the left sits with his back to the viewer and his right elbow on the table, with his head resting on his right hand. The man on the far right sits at the table with both hands on it, looking down. The man behind him stands with a plate of food in his left hand. The central figure, Jesus Christ, sits with an illuminated halo around his head, his hands crossed on the table. They sit around a rectangular table covered with a white tablecloth and a plate of food. The background shows a stone wall with a large archway. The color palette is predominantly dark and muted.
