The Last Supper after the painting in San Polo, Venice is a 1556 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This sketch shows a chaotic scene of people crowded around a table. Some are sitting, others are leaning in or reaching out, while one person on the floor appears to be struggling. The figures are drawn in loose, expressive lines with strong contrasts of light and shadow, giving everything a dramatic, almost frantic feel. Notice how the artist used deep shadows to make certain faces and hands stand out sharply against the lighter areas—this is a key trick in old paintings. The sketch looks like it was done quickly, with visible strokes and smudges. Want to see more of this style? Look up *chiaroscuro*.
