Priest and Soldier n.d.

"Priest and Soldier" is a pen and ink drawing on paper by the British artist George Du Maurier. It depicts a priest, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, standing and holding a document, and a soldier seated, possibly receiving the document. The simple and detailed composition, with its use of cross-hatching, is characteristic of Du Maurier's illustrations, often published in periodicals of the Victorian era. This artwork, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a glimpse into Du Maurier's artistic style and social commentary.
