Also, the apostole on the Jesus's right is clearly a woman...

And they did that for what? A selfie?

  No, they did that because Jesus had just broken the news that he'll be betrayed by Judas. The whole scene shows the shock and a heated discussion of that revealation.

There are no chairs on that side. Also note all those pieces of bread and fruit very near the edge.
