About MeOne of 99 drawings on 92 leaves of paper from a sketchbook used by William Williams.

The Last Supper, comprising a table, positioned frontally and centrally in the composition with foreshortening as it recedes into the room. Jesus is positioned at the head of the table. He is surrounded either side and along the two long lengths of the table by his apostles. Judas is at the front on the left in the shadows.

This drawing, along with 46 other leaves from the same sketchbook, is now untraced. Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums is keen to reunite the drawings as one album. If you have any information relating to the current whereabouts of this work please contact Aberdeen Art Gallery.
