Christ on the Mount of Olives

Deutsche Grafik 1483–1490, c. 1490

The image is of a religious scene in a garden. It shows a figure in the center kneeling with hands clasped before a group of resting figures. The setting is outdoors with trees and bushes. The composition includes a fenced area, a group of people near a door-like structure, a building with a tower, and a small flying figure with wings. In the background, there is a chalice on a hill. The style features outline drawings filled with flat, muted colors, likely influenced by historical religious art.
