Christ and his disciples at Emmaus is a 1850 by Angelo Campanella, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows three men sitting around a table covered with a patterned cloth. One man at the center raises his hand, while the others lean in, listening. A dog lies on the floor near a bowl of fruit, and a basket sits on the table. The room looks cozy, with shelves holding vases and a window letting in soft light.
