Christ at Emmaus: the Smaller Plate is a 1634 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows three men sitting at a table. One man leans forward, gesturing with his hands, while the other two listen closely. A dog lies at the feet of the man on the right, and the scene feels quiet and intimate. The lines are loose and expressive, with some areas filled in with cross-hatching. Notice how the artist uses light and shadow to create depth, especially on the faces and hands. The signature in the corner reads "Rembrandt f. 1634," marking this as an early work.
