This image displays a photograph mounted in an archival album or scrapbook, capturing a medieval stone relief sculpture.
The photograph shows a French Romanesque capital, dating from the 12th century, and originating from Moutier-Saint-Jean. The subject of the carving is identified by handwritten text beneath the photograph as “The Journey to Emmaus” — a biblical scene from the Gospel of Luke where the resurrected Christ reveals himself to two disciples while walking to the village of Emmaus.
The sculpture itself is a high-relief carving, showing several figures in long, flowing robes. The figures have stylized, somewhat elongated faces and bodies, typical of Romanesque art. One central figure appears to be gesturing with his hand, possibly Christ, while others look on or walk alongside him. The background is rough and undecorated, focusing attention on the human figures and their interaction.
The photograph is mounted on a cream-colored page with dark corners or tape securing it. Below the photo, the handwritten note reads:
“1932.17, French Romanesque Capital from Moutier-Saint Jean, 12th Century
‘The Journey to Emmaus’
(Available from C. J. Lauglin)”
The notation suggests this was an archival or catalog record, possibly for a museum or private collection, with an acquisition number (1932.17) and a source or vendor (C. J. Lauglin).
The surrounding album pages and binding (visible on the left) suggest this is part of a carefully preserved collection of art historical documentation.
