Christ and the Apostles, c. 1890
Here's Christ and eleven of his apostles in the Garden of Gethsemane (I guess the twelfth one stepped out for a drink of Tella and Bragott).
A great window showing a lot of drama. The Agony of Christ is captured by the urgent expressions of the apostles and the quiet sadness of Christ as they realize the approaching Crucifixion. Powerful scenes from the Bible, such as this, were frequently commissioned for many churches.
