Christ in Gethsemane

Italienische Grafik 1395–1568, 1560-as évek

This is a drawing of three winged figures in a dynamic composition. The drawing depicts three angelic figures with wings, rendered in shades of brown and white. One figure kneels in the foreground with a forward-leaning posture, while another stands behind with slightly open wings, and a third is positioned horizontally in flight. The figures are executed with strong outlines and flowing lines. The background is minimal and the use of white highlights gives a sense of luminosity to their forms.
