This anonymous engraving, titled "Novelli" and dating from before 1880, depicts the Last Supper, a pivotal moment in Christian tradition where Jesus shares a final meal with his disciples. The engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the solemn scene, highlighting the figures seated around the table and emphasizing the central figure of Jesus. The work likely served as an illustration for a religious text, providing a visual interpretation of the biblical story for a wider audience.
