A Vicar and a Curate 1870 - 1891

"A Vicar and a Curate" is a pen and ink drawing by Charles Samuel Keene, depicting three figures in an interior setting, possibly a church. The drawing's loose, sketchy style was characteristic of Keene's work, which often satirized Victorian life and social customs. The artwork's title suggests a humorous observation on the clergy, inviting viewers to interpret the subtle interplay between the figures and their expressions. Keene's drawing offers a glimpse into Victorian society, its religious practices, and the artist's sharp wit.
