Christ and His Disciples on the Way to Emmaus

Philip Galle after Pieter Bruegel the Elder

National Gallery of Art

This artwork features three figures standing closely together in an outdoor setting. Each person faces slightly inward towards the center. The central figure has a halo around their head, and the other two individuals display concerned expressions. They are draped in long robes and carry staffs. One person wears a cap, knee-high shoes, and carries a small bag. The background consists of simple shaded lines indicating a landscape with subtle ground textures.
