A Christening in Chevening Church, Kent 

This pencil sketch by Benjamin West depicts a christening ceremony taking place inside Chevening Church in Kent. West, a prominent painter during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is known for his historical and religious works. The scene captures the solemnity of the event, with the priest standing at the altar and the family of the infant, dressed in their finest attire, gathered around. The sketch's simple lines and muted tones effectively convey the quiet atmosphere of the church.
