Three men sit at a pale table. In the centre, a bearded man in a blue hooded shawl holds a small bowl in both hands; on the left a curly-haired young man drinks from a bowl, and on the right an older man in a headband rests his cheek on his hand and points across the table. Their bare feet show under the table on a red-brown floor.

The story behind

The final painting, the last of the triptych is the breakfast at Emmaus. The story of how Jesus walked with two strangers who were discussing the recent gossip of the dead man who seemed to have walked away from his tomb, makes me think of the very uncertain times through which I passed during the partitioning of Punjab.
