"Broder Cornelii Adrians Absolutions Maade og Tugte=Orden./ J.L. Gottefriidi Chronica. p. 908." is a pen and ink drawing by Johannes Wiedewelt depicting a scene of religious instruction. The scene shows a group of women, some partially clothed, gathered around a priest who is preaching to them. The work is likely a satirical commentary on religious practice and the power of the church, created in the late 18th century, a period of great intellectual and social change. The composition is highly detailed, with the figures arranged in a dynamic and complex manner. The use of light and shadow contributes to the sense of drama and tension.
