The image depicts a black and white woodcut of a biblical scene. The scene shows a man with long hair and a beard wearing a long robe and a halo, standing in the center. His hands are raised in prayer. He is surrounded by three other men, two on the ground to his left and right, and one standing behind him on the right. The man on the right on the ground holds a sword. The man on the left on the ground rests his head on his hand. In the background, there are several people with weapons, possibly soldiers. The background also features trees, bushes, and a building. An angel appears on the right holding a chalice. The sky shows clouds and smoke. The image is attributed to Hans Weiditz and titled "The Agony in the Garden".
