"Christ in Emmaus" is a brown ink drawing by the Venetian artist Giovanni Antonio Guardi, depicting the biblical story of Jesus's appearance to two disciples after his resurrection. The composition is dominated by the central figure of Christ, who stands dramatically with his arms outstretched, revealing himself to the two seated disciples. The scene is set in a simple interior, likely a room in a house, and is filled with dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. The presence of cherubs in the clouds above the room alludes to the divine nature of the event.
