The Last Supper

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of people sitting around a table. The central figure is facing the viewer, surrounded by others engaged in conversation or listening. The central figure has long hair and a beard, with defined facial features. They are illuminated with radiating lines from behind, creating a halo-like effect. The group is dressed in robes, and the table in front of them is small and round, with plates and chalices scattered on its surface. The setting is sparse, with no detailed background, just a simple, textured surface.
