Christus en de discipelen op pad naar Emmaus c. 1614 - 1655

"Christus en de discipelen op pad naar Emmaus" is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Gerard ter Borch, created sometime between 1614 and 1655. This drawing, currently located in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the biblical story of Jesus appearing to two of his disciples on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection. The sketch features a simple composition with three figures walking along a path, showcasing Borch's skill in capturing movement and anatomy. The drawing is a preparatory study for a larger painting, and its loose and gestural style reflects the artist's emphasis on naturalistic representation.
