Plaque with Gethsemane

Description The scene is placed on a hatched ground beneath an ogee arch with brickwork above. The plaque is from a casket like Walters 71.251. The same subject appears on that large casket, but the designs are totally different. There are considerable traces of polychromy in red, blue, and gilt.

Provenance William T. / Henry Walters Collection, Baltimore [date of acquisition unknown], by purchase; Walters Art Museum, 1931, by bequest.
