Olive Trees at Gethsemane, Jerusalem

James Robertson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows ancient, thick-trunked olive trees clustered together in a garden setting. The trees are gnarled and timeworn, with dense foliage casting shadows. Beyond the trees, there is sparse shrubbery, small hedges, and a hillside with a long stone wall with fortifications and battlements. The scene has a sepia tone color palette, highlighting the textures of trees, earth, and stone structures.
