Single Leaf with Scenes from the Last Supper

Single leaf with scenes from The Last Supper by Simon Bening. A colorful illustration of two scenes from The Last Supper is shown. The illustration is surrounded by a border with gold floral designs, pink and blue flowers on the right, a shield with green and yellow stripes at the bottom center, and a green and pink bird on the bottom left. The top of the border has gold text on a black background. The left side of the border has a gold ribbon with black text. The top scene shows Jesus and 12 men with halos sitting around a table with a white tablecloth eating. The bottom scene is similar but the men are arranged differently. The background of the illustration is grey. The border is black. The overall design suggests a medieval manuscript illustration. The style of the illustration and border suggests it was created in the 16th century. The illustration appears to be painted on vellum or a similar material. The image is well lit with a shadow cast on the left and bottom.
