Attributed to

Sketched with brown ink on now-darkened paper, thirteen men sit on the far side of a long table. They gather in clusters of three as they look and gesture toward a man at the center, Jesus, who has long hair and a beard. They all wear robes. Square openings in the space behind the table recede into the distance but are lightly sketched. Subtle vertical lines of the laid paper are visible, and the bottom center is stamped with a letter R.
