Description
Photograph of the painting "Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane" by Hofmann, [s.d.]. Christ is shown kneeling prostrate at a slab of rock, his hands folded out on it in front of him. He looks skyward towards the left, a halo of light emanating from his head. In the background, his disciples heads can be made out speaking amongst themselves. The clouds above are dark, and a thorny bramble can be seen edging in from the left foreground.
