This etching, part of "La Petite Passion," depicts the biblical scene of Jesus in the Garden of Olives. The composition is a close-up, focusing on the figures of Jesus and his disciples. The artist uses light and shadow to create a sense of drama and emotion, emphasizing the weight of Jesus’s impending betrayal and crucifixion. While the artist remains anonymous, the work exhibits characteristic elements of Baroque art, prevalent in the 17th century.
