The Supper at Emmaus

José del Castillo, after Mateo Cerezo the younger

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an artwork of several men gathered around a table. The central figure is seated with a halo around his head, looking upward, along with a few other figures. One man is seated across the table, raising his hand, while another covers his face with one hand. The figures have facial hair and long hair, dressed in flowing garments. Additional figures are around them, with a drapery hanging behind and a cherubic figure in the clouds above. A scenic landscape is visible through an archway to the right, adding depth. Text at the bottom provides context or information about the artwork.
