Occupying almost the entire width of the support, large rectangular table, looking over her few dishes. In front of two figures: the profile of on the left to the right, with the upper body leaning down and arms outstretched as if suspended pitcher oval that is on the floor in front of him; to the right is in profile standing to the left with his face forward and secure in the hands something undefined. Deeper, behind the table, find themselves on the left five sitting apostles, close to each other; on the left of center, Jesus with the head tilted slightly back, on the right arm bent with hand up and on the left stretched with hand resting on the table; on the right of center, two apostles and the on the right group of four apostles.
