Notes:

New-York Tribune, “Recent Works by Emil Carlsen, Mrs. Sears and Others”, March 11, 1923.
“…the quiet tonality of ‘The Garden.’…”

American Art News, “Emil Carlsen’s Paintings”, March 10, 1923.
“His one religious subject, ‘The Garden,’ is at once more definite in subject and more etherial in it light effects, the nimbus circling the head of the solitary Christ being as softly brillant as the light from the stars in all pervasive over the sloping hillside, through the trees and over the valley beyond.”

– This is also a study of this painting without the figure which measures 32 x 28.
– Painted in Falls Village, CT.
