The Last Supper, c. 1527 - A Captivating Glimpse into Holbein's Masterpiece
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of "The Last Supper" a renowned oil painting on wood by Hans Holbein the Younger.

The head of Christ was sawn out and work dented as well. Despite these imperfections inflicted upon it over time, Holbein's skillful brushwork and attention to detail shine through every stroke.
