The Last Supper

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group gathered around a table. Several figures are seated around a circular table, with one central figure emitting radiant light depicted with lines extending outward. The figures are arranged closely around the table, which is adorned with various items. The scene is rendered in a monochrome palette, using fine lines to convey detail and texture. Shadows and cross-hatching techniques add depth to the composition, enhancing the intricacy of robes and facial expressions.
