The curtains in the background indicate that the scene takes place indoors. The images of the Last Supper are considered by Christians to be a prefiguration of the Eucharist. Beautiful original piece!
An ebony panel is special. The exotic was imported from Asia to the Netherlands by the VOC - Dutch East India Company - and incorporated into luxury goods, including furniture. Only for the richest people!
