The Covenanters' Communion is a 1840 oil by George Harvey, a British Romanticism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting depicts a group of people gathered around a table, with a man standing at the front. The scene is set outdoors, with a hillside visible in the background. The people are dressed in old-fashioned clothing, and the atmosphere appears to be one of solemnity. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The figures are rendered in detail, with careful attention paid to their facial expressions and body language. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation.
