Source Description
Christ, seated at the head of a rectangular table covered with a cloth, is surrounded by the twelve apostles, sitting on wooden stools. Each wears a nimbus- even Judas in the right foreground, who has just dipped into the dish with the Lord. In the background a curtain is draped from two columns.The accomodation of the rectangular table and the apostles to the round format is very subtle. The open space in th foreground not only allows a clear focus on christ, but permits a place at the table for the viewer.
