Cleveland Museum of Art

The Passion: The Agony in the Garden by Lucas van Leyden. A black and white engraving depicting a biblical scene. Jesus Christ kneels on a rocky outcropping, looking up to the top center of the image. An angel presents a chalice with a cross on top. Jesus has long hair and wears a long robe with a cape. Three apostles are below him on the ground. The apostle on the left has a sword lying on the ground next to him and rests his head on his right hand. The apostle in the middle with long hair leans on his right elbow. The apostle on the right sleeps with his head on the ground and body partially obscured. The rocky outcropping is on the left side. The sky is cloudy and a building is visible in the distance on the right. Trees are on the far left. The image is framed by a thin border. The artist's initials 'LHF' are in the bottom right corner.
