"The King's Gate with the gate canopy. The Last Supper." is an icon painted by Nicholas Roerich in 1907. The icon depicts the biblical scene of the Last Supper, with Jesus Christ presiding over the table, surrounded by his disciples. The image is characterized by a stylized, almost flat representation of the figures and a muted color palette, typical of traditional Russian iconography. This icon is currently housed in the Perm State Art Gallery in Perm, Russia, and exemplifies Roerich's interest in religious themes and the stylistic legacy of Russian icon painting.
