The Last Supper

Albrecht Altdorfer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group seated around a table in an arched, enclosed space. There is a large lattice-patterned window in the background. Light radiates from one individual at the center of the table. Multiple figures are gathered around the table, engaged in a communal meal with dining implements and dishes visible. The style of the drawing features finely detailed lines and strong contrasts between light and dark.
