The Supper at Emmaus is a 1912 chalk by Jean-Louis Forain, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a table. They are all looking at something on the table, but it's not clear what it is. The people are dressed in old-fashioned clothes, and the background is a bit blurry. The painting is done in watercolor and colored chalks, which gives it a soft, dreamy quality. The colors are muted, with lots of blues and browns. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation.
