About this work

A pencil drawing titled The Search after Truth, attributed to Hablot Knight Browne, shows a crowd gathered around a stone well with a wooden roof and winch. Figures of women, men, and children peer into or work at the well, while a dog sniffs at books labeled with words such as Bible and Astronomy scattered on the ground. Children play in the dirt in the foreground, and a donkey and pig appear among the townspeople in the street.
