Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane

Hans Daucher

Cleveland Museum of Art

Rectangular gray stone relief sculpture with raised border. The scene depicts a man with long hair and a beard, wearing a long robe, kneeling on the right with hands clasped in front of him. The man appears to be praying. To his left, two men are sleeping; one sitting with his head resting on his right arm, and another lying on the ground behind him. In the background, a group of people with torches and spears can be seen approaching from the left. The scene also features a tree with a large leafy branch on the left and a bare tree branch on the right with a chalice hanging from it. The background of the relief shows an archway and brick wall on the left. The overall scene appears to be a depiction of a biblical event.
