Christ prays to God in the garden of olives. His disciples, meanwhile, are asleep. An angel appears in the clouds to comfort him (Matthew 26:37-45). In the background, Judas shows the soldiers the spot where Christ is praying. The print has a Latin caption; it is part of a series on the life of Christ.
