The Last Supper

Francesco Denanto

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of figures gathered around a table. The scene depicts a long rectangular table with various round objects and cups on it. Each figure is detailed with intricate folds in their garments, and there are decorative elements around the table and on the benches. Some figures are seated in the foreground while others stand in the background, all wearing flowing robes, and some have halos around their heads. The drawing emphasizes emotional expressions and gestures, creating a sense of drama and interaction among the figures. The style resembles early European woodcut designs, featuring strong contrasts between light and shadow.
