Christ in the olive garden

The agony in the garden; after Dürer (Meder 4); three apostles sleeping in foreground; Christ standing with his arms raised in right background, the angel holding the cross appearing at left; from a series of fifteen etchings after Dürer's Small Passion.

Etching on iron, from the Passion of Christ. Signed with monogram on a tablet at lower right.

Examples in the very rare first state of two, before the Funk edition, with the number of the plate.

A great impression, particularly rich in shades, printed on contemporary laid paper, trimmed to the platemark, in excellent condition.
