"Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane" (1803–1889) by American artist Robert Walter Weir depicts a moment of intense contemplation. Christ kneels in the foreground, his head bowed in sorrow, amidst a desolate, shadowy landscape. The use of dark washes and stark contrasts evokes the emotional weight of Christ's impending sacrifice. This intimate, 9 5/8 x 13 13/16 in. (24.4 x 35.1 cm) watercolor is a powerful representation of a pivotal moment in Christian scripture and resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
