No. 2539.—THE PILGRIMS AT EMMAUS

(Les Pèlerins d’Emmaüs)

In a lofty room in front of a shallow niche in a wall, Christ and

the two disciples sit at table; a young serving-man enters from the

right, carrying a dish. Christ, whose bare feet are seen underneath

the table, gazes heavenward as He breaks bread, by which act the

disciples recognise Him as their Lord. The room is lit from the

left.

Painted in oil on panel.

Signed below on the left:—“_Rembrandt f. 1648._”
