Christ at Emmaus

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of several figures. One figure on the left has long hair and a beard, shown in profile from the shoulders up. To the right, a group of figures is seated around a table. The figures are minimally detailed, with only the tops of their heads and general outlines visible. They are draped in loose garments. The sketch is on a plain background with minimal shading, and the lines are light and expressive.
