"One who was drinking and left the cup in its place turns his head toward the speaker. Another twists the fingers of his hands together and turns with stern brows to his companion. Another with hands opened showing their palms raises his shoulders toward his ears and gapes in astonishment. Another speaks in the ear of his neighbour, and he who listens turns toward him and gives him his ear, holding a knife in one hand and in the other the bread half divided by this knife. Another as he turns holding a knife in his hand tips over a glass onto the table. Another rests his hands upon the table and stares. Another breathes heavily with open mouth. Another leans forward to look at the speaker and shades his eyes with his hand. Another draws himself back behind the one who is leaning forward and watches the speaker through the space between the wall and the one who is leaning."
V. P. Zubov. Leonardo
da Vinci, Harvard University Press (Cambridge: 1968), p. 84.
