Félix Bonfils's "Gezicht op de tuin van Getsemane, Jeruzalem" (c. 1867-1877) is a black and white photograph depicting the Garden of Gethsemane in Jerusalem. This albumen print, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, captures the serene beauty of the garden with its olive trees, small buildings, and a white picket fence surrounding the cultivated space.
