About this work

Christ appears to the apostles while they are eating. He reproaches them for their unbelief and stubbornness and commands them to go through the world. In the six circles above, the content of the Gospel is depicted. In the background, Christ is seen being taken up into heaven. Here the image is used as a representation of the Last Supper where Christ predicts that one of his disciples will betray him. Letters are placed at various elements in the image. Above the image a title. Below it six lines of verse and a reference to Matthew 26: 21-23. The print forms part of an album.
