Oil on canvas. (1939). Approx. 130 x 116 cm. Signed on the reverse on the stretcher.

Willy Jaeckel painted over the painting ‘Gethsemane’ – presumably due to a shortage of materials during the war – with the depiction of ‘Ploughman in the Evening’; however, he may simply have reused the existing stretcher and stretched a new canvas over it. Two old exhibition labels from the "International Exhibition of Paintings", Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, where the work "Gethsemane" was shown, have been preserved on the back of the stretcher.
