No one knows how they actually sat, that was just creative license from Leonardo da vinci.

"Jesus and the Apostles did not sit on chairs at a table. Rather they reclined on ground or on mats and pillows, leaning on their left elbow (either forward of back) and eating with their right hand. Their legs were stretched out behind them. This was the typical fashion for eating in the ancient world."
