Christ on the Mount of Olives

Frühe Holzschnitte, c. 1425/1450

The image shows a group of individuals with their upper bodies and heads visible. The central figure is kneeling with their face raised upward and hands clasped together. They have a bearded face with red marks or lines on their forehead and cheeks. There are three other individuals behind and next to the central figure, each with different facial expressions and hairstyles. All have halos around their heads. One person is wearing a red robe, while another is in green. In the background, there are large leafy plants or trees, creating a lush green environment.
