Scène révolutionnaire: Parody on the Last Supper

Auguste Bouquet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of people sitting around a long table. The central figure is leaning forward with hands on the table, wearing a sleeveless dress and with long, wavy hair. The surrounding individuals are engaged in various interactions, some pointing or reaching towards each other. Men on either side wear suits or uniforms, with facial features including mustaches and sideburns. Some individuals appear older with receding hairlines or longer, swept-back hair. Several people hold papers, fruit, and objects like a crown and a paper labeled "Liste d'or." The background is a simple, shaded wall, creating focus on the foreground scene with indoor lighting.
