Christ in Gethsemane

Ernst Barlach

National Gallery of Art

The image is a monochrome illustration of a male figure from head to knee. The man is on all fours, with detailed facial features showing a shaggy beard and unkempt hair. He wears a flowing, robe-like garment. The background is abstract, with swirling lines and indistinct shapes, possibly representing other figures or creatures.
