Christ sits at a table, his twelve disciples gathered around him to left and right. There is a halo of light around his head and he looks upwards, his right hand blessing a loaf of bread held in his left hand. A goblet of wine stands at the centre of the table. Judas sits in the left foreground, the only figure to look out towards the spectator and away from Christ. The location is a baroque temple with solomonic columns and arches and a large curtain is draped above the central scene. An open book rests on a stand between two candles on a ledge at upper left with a view to open sky above.

Trimmed within the platemark. Richard Bull's mark written in pen and ink on the verso: 'R.Bull' (L.314). A VanSittart number, '930' written in pen and ink on the verso at upper centre. Inscribed on the verso in graphite in large script, '431' (see also P.14974-R, P.14975-R and Notes). Inscribed on the verso in pen and ink (curator's hand): 'Vansittart Collection'. This plate (printmaker unidentified) produced after Bolswert's engraving of Rubens' The Last Supper (c.1624-1633; see for example, BM: 1891,0414.621 and Notes) was probably produced during the mid-late eighteenth century and is possibly an impression of Schneevoogt's 222, which was published by French mezzotinter, John Simon (c.1675-1751). Other mezzotint plates of this subject exist from around this period, all of which, like this plate, do not reproduce the dog gnawing the bone below Judas's legs which is seen in the original composition. See for example, BM: 2010,7081.696, mezzotint and etching by unknown printmaker, published by Carington Bowles c.1784. reference term-136481 adlib-term-136481 ff114b08-4aa4-38d7-be1c-bf772a6edbea 18th Century reference term-98032 adlib-term-98032 82c0807b-e8e4-3d5c-ac68-1a6390880fea print history note Ex. Collection Richard Bull (1725-1805). VanSittart gave 1,485 engravings to the Fitzwilliam Museum in 1879 and this mezzotint was probably included within this group. The number written in pen and ink on the verso at upper centre and probably also that written in graphite in large script at the centre almost certainly relate to some kind of count by curators at the time of the acquisition. reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference term-8399 adlib-term-8399 6611ae15-9298-340e-8c20-9fc4c7a76bf8 French
