Christ at Emmaus is a 1902 chalk by Jean-Louis Forain, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a group of people around a table with Christ on the left. The scene is simple, with minimal details. It's interesting because the artist used simple lines to convey emotion. The lines are light and expressive, which adds to the feeling of the scene. Look up the technique of chiaroscuro to learn more about how artists use light and dark.
