Description: | John Knox administering the Sacrament. Black and white engraving of a group of people around a long table. A man in a cloak stands centrally holding a goblet in front of a young woman. The engraving is glazed
"Unfinished painting. Depicts the first time communion was given according to the Calvinist rite in Scotland (1555). Wilkie's source was likely T. McCrie's 1812 'Life of John Knox'. The figure to the left of the woman taking the cup is probably Regent Murray. The engraving was published in the periodical 'Art Union' in 1848 and reissued in the 'Wilkie Gallery' 1848-50. John Talfourd Smyth (1819-1851) trained at the Trustees Academy under William Allan and produced engravings after Allan and Mulready as well as Wilkie."
