About this work

The Last Supper depicts Jesus and his twelve apostles seated at a long table. Jesus is at the center, with six apostles on either side. The apostles are dressed in robes, and the table is set with plates, cups, and bread. The room has a high ceiling with exposed beams and patterned wallpaper. A quiet detail is the varied reactions of the apostles, some looking at Jesus with concern, while others appear shocked or upset. This subtle contrast adds depth to the scene.
