This print shows a church scene where the preacher and choir are reading from books, but the congregation is asleep. The building outside has a tall steeple and small windows. A woman in the front row holds a fan and a booklet, while a man in the choir looks bored. The artist used sharp lines and dark shadows to show the contrast between light and dark. This makes the faces and objects stand out clearly. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
