• This sheet is a copy after the Ferrarese artist Ercole de' Roberti, whose few authentic drawings are freer in conception. Possibly, the work is a copy of a lost drawing by Roberti, but it seems removed from his style, and its harshness suggests it is likely a copy after another copy of Roberti's painting of the Garden of Gethsemane, now in the Gemaldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden (inv. no. 45; repr. Joseph Manca, The Art of Ercole de' Roberti, Cambridge, 1992, pl. 14a). The Garden of Gethsemane belongs with another panel of the Ascent to Calvary, also in Dresden (Manca, fig. 14b). The two panels flanked a larger painting of the Pieta (Liverpool, Walker Art Gallery, inv. no. 2773, Manca, fig. 14c) and were made ca. 1483-86 for the high altar of San Giovanni in Monte, Bologna. (On the history of the paintings see Manca 1992, pp. 126-130).
