Hi Aaron,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

"Ultima Ceia de Jesus" is Portuguese, and translates to "The Last Supper of Jesus" in English.
This phrase refers to the biblical event described in the Gospels, where Jesus shared a final meal with His disciples before His crucifixion. It is a significant moment in Christian tradition, symbolizing fellowship, sacrifice, and the institution of the Eucharist. The event is famously depicted in art, with Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper being one of the most renowned interpretations. Your icon models that composition, with Christ in the center flanked by his apostles.
