"Christus in de hof van Olijven" (Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane), an etching by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, depicts a scene from the Bible where Jesus kneels in prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. The scene is illuminated by a beam of light emanating from an angel above. The angel holds a chalice, signifying the suffering that Jesus is about to endure. This 17th-century print, created between 1590 and 1622, exemplifies the artistic trend of depicting biblical scenes with realism and detail. It's now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
