The Supper at Emmaus is a 1610 ink by Pierre Fatoure, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows three people at a table. One man sits with his hand on a basket of fruit, looking calm. Another man leans in, pointing at something on the table. A third man, wrapped in a cloak, stands behind them, holding a jug. The table has bread, a cup, and a few scattered items. The scene looks like a quiet moment turned dramatic—maybe a surprise or a revelation. The lines are sharp and detailed, typical of engravings from that time. Want to see more like this?
