Charles Samuel Keene's pen and ink drawing, “Court Scene,” depicts a courtroom scene filled with detail and realism. The scene is rendered with a meticulous hatching technique, capturing the texture of fabrics and the expression on the faces of the individuals present. This drawing is a glimpse into the daily life of the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the social dynamics and the legal proceedings of the time. This work, created between 1870 and 1891, is now housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago.
