The Garden of Gethsemane is a verse from the 17th chapter of Boris Pasternak’s novel Doctor Zhivago. The artist made the drawings with a hair brush and the text with a steel pen on three folded sheets of paper. The twelve pages are stapled into a paper cover. The book is held in a cardboard slipcase with

lithograph. In 1989, a year after the first limited edition of 25 copies, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow reprinted the book in a 100 copy edition to commemorate Pasternak’s 100th anniversary in 1990.
