Who's the woman in the Da Vinci painting of the last supper?

Looking across the picture from left to right:

* Bartholomew, James Minor and Andrew form a group of three. All are aghast, Andrew to the point of holding his hands up in a "stop!" gesture.

* Judas, Peter and John form the next group of three. Judas, you will note, has his face in shadow and is clutching a small bag (of silver?). Peter is visibly angry and a feminine-looking John seems about to swoon.

* Christ is the calm in the midst of the storm.

* Thomas, James Major and Philip are next. Thomas is clearly agitated, James Major stunned and Philip seems to be seeking clarification.

* Matthew, Thaddeus and Simon comprise the last group of three figures. It appears that, when a situation turns ugly, Simon is the "go to" guy for explanations.

So, John is the "woman."
 
There is no woman in DaVinci's Last Supper. The person next to Jesus is St. John who was a very young man.
Dan Brown invented stories to fit the great novel he was writing. His book is fiction........not true.
 
There is NO Woman in the Painting! The 'MAN' you see to Jesus' right hand (left looking at the Pic) is St. John the Baptist. John was Jesus' Second Cousin. He is the Son of St. Elizabeth, Mary's First, Cousin.
 
Yes, that's John, but not John the Baptist (sorry Trouble). This is John the Apostle who wrote the Gospel book of John. John was known as "the beautiful" apostle because his gospel book is considered beautifully written. It then became traditional in the renaissance to portray him as good looking, even effeminate!
