This famous painting is striking for its intricate details and its vibrant dynamics. In addition to its physical intricacies, it is also noteworthy for its symbolic meanings.
The composition is symmetrical and well-balanced, with three groups of four figures on both sides of the table. The figures are interacting with one another in different ways, often conveying their different emotions about the news that Jesus has just revealed to them - that one of them will betray him.

The expression of the apostles varies from surprise to perplexity, with some figures looking outward towards the viewer, while others look downward in despair.
