English: This sculpture by American artist John Rogers shows a group of people at church. A young woman is leafing through a book looking for a page, with her male neighbor leaning forward from the pew behind to point to the correct one. An elderly woman, seated beside the girl, is looking up with a rather unpleasant expression at the helpful man, while a small boy lounges in the front pew, with a stolen top hat and gloves in his possession. The sculpture is finely detailed, down to the cushions on the seats and the ruffles and trims on the women's clothing. Rogers was famous for sculpting extremely popular and relatively affordable statuettes out of plaster depicting average life which he mass produced and sold, gaining himself a national reputation and widespread popularity in the second half of the 19th century.
