People are surrounding a pool table, leaning in for a shot, reaching out over the table, resting along the side, or straining over to see the result of pool balls colliding with one another. The view of the table is seen not at eye level or from above the pool table, but somewhere in between. For me, an entry…

behind the figure. In front of Christ’s torso, the cloak is a vivid orange-red eventually turning yellow as it reaches his head and the halo. These smooth transitions between colours show Grünewald’s talent in using oil paints. He also appears to have a ghostly pallor to him, with little tone to his skin.
