The Agony in the Garden

Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane while three of his disciples, shown in the middle distance, sleep. The angel on the right holds a cup in which are the symbols of the Passion: the Cross, the Crown of Thorns, the spear and the sponge.

This painting, together with 'Christ carrying the Cross', once part of a polyptych or triptych.
