Christ at Emmaus: the Larger Plate

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows four people inside a room. One person is seated at a table with light rays around their head. Another person stands to the left, while two others are on the right. The central figure has long hair and a beard. The others have short hair, one has a raised hand and a beard, and another is holding a staff. They are dressed in historical clothing, with the central figure in a robe. The scene is enclosed by draped curtains, and there is a faint pattern in the background. The floor appears to be wooden or tiled.
