Described in Smith’s Catalogue (Part VIII, p. 3 oa, n° 194), as follows : « This imaginary scene exhibits on the left (right) the hill of Golgotha, surmounted by three crosses, and having under it the appearance of a tomb; the centre gives a view over the city of Jerusalem, situate in a valley adjacent to the distant hills. The opposite side is composed of a high bank, on which grow clusters of young trees; in front of this and nearer the spectator stands the Saviour, in the character of a gardener, with a spade in his hand, addressing himself to Mary, who is on her knees before him; two of the disciples of our Lord are on the farther side of some palings, near a tree on the left (right). The effect is that of a fine morning. »
