The Agony in the Garden is a 1624 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three people in a dim, wooded area at night. One person kneels, hands clasped, looking up. Another sits on the ground, head bowed. A third stands nearby, holding a glowing cross. Trees lean in around them, and a small building peeks through the trees in the background. The light from the cross makes the scene feel tense. This kind of nighttime drama was common in religious art back then. Want to see more? Check out etching to learn how artists like this made prints.
