Industrious 'Prentice Performing Duties of Christian 

This sketch, "Industrious 'Prentice Performing Duties of Christian", is a work by the renowned English artist William Hogarth. Although the date is unknown, it exemplifies his satirical and observational style. The scene portrays a church interior, highlighting the diverse behaviors of the congregation. The central figure, likely an apprentice, appears attentive to the sermon while others around him are engaged in various activities, some even seemingly inattentive or bored. Hogarth masterfully uses quick, expressive lines to capture the dynamism of the moment, making it a quintessential example of his social commentary within a religious context.
