One object, sold whole, as Museu Nacional Grão Vasco, Viseu shows it. 3 sheets, one edition, $349 — the printed panels hang level within 0.0%.

A basin of water sits in the foreground, and no one is using it. Dalila Rodrigues, writing for the Grão Vasco museum, reads it as the washing of the feet, evoked by the object alone. Christ holds the chalice. A man carries in the paschal lamb; bitter herbs and unleavened bread lie on the table, the Passover that prefigures this supper.

Judas, in yellow with his money bag, slips out through the opposite door. A small dog stays, a sign of fidelity against the betrayal, she says. A guard carries a tortoise shell, head still on, as a shield.

The panels hang in a row at one image height; the hung images measure about 30.9 in across, before any gap between frames.

Printed on demand as one edition. The whole image is printed on every sheet — never cropped to fit — so each panel carries an archival margin.
