The Last Supper

About this work

This sketch shows a group of men sitting around a long table, eating and talking. The room has high ceilings and empty doorways in the back. One man at the center looks calm, while others lean in or gesture with their hands. The lines are simple and slightly fuzzy, like a quick drawing. The artist used a technique that makes the lines look scratched into the surface. This was common in the 1800s for detailed prints. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
