About this work

This painting shows Jesus and his twelve apostles sitting around a table. Jesus is in the middle, with a halo around his head. The apostles are all looking at him, some with their hands up in surprise. The table has a plate of food on it, and there are some cups and other dishes around. The painting is done in a style that makes it look like it was drawn with a pen and ink. The lines are very fine and detailed, and you can see the texture of the paper it was drawn on. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of artist Callot, Jacques.
