Español: Jesús sube solo a una montaña para orar

Una figura solitaria con túnica y los brazos abiertos está de pie sobre una cima rocosa bajo un cielo nocturno lleno de estrellas y una luna creciente. Abajo, escalones de piedra descienden entre roca oscura y escarpada, en un estilo de acuarela y gouache de tonos apagados.

Português: Jesus sobe sozinho a uma montanha para orar

Uma figura solitária, de manto e braços abertos, está de pé sobre um cume rochoso sob um céu noturno cheio de estrelas e uma lua crescente. Abaixo, degraus de pedra descem por rochas escuras e acidentadas, em um estilo de aquarela e guache de tons suaves.
