"El Padre Claret y Sor Patrocinio" is a satirical illustration created by Georges Goursat, better known as Sem, a French caricaturist famous for his depictions of Parisian high society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The work is notable for its portrayal of two controversial Spanish religious figures: Saint Anthony Mary Claret, the founder of the Claretians, and Sister Patrocinio, known as "the nun with the wounds" due to the stigmata-like marks she bore.

The illustration is characteristic of Sem's style, which often involved sharp and witty observations of his subjects, rendered with a sense of humor and a distinctive linearity. "El Padre Claret y Sor Patrocinio" reflects the political and social tensions of the time, as both figures were associated with the Carlist movement in Spain and were influential in the court of Queen Isabella II.

Sem's work captures the essence of the period's caricature, serving as both a social commentary and a historical document. The illustration might have been published in one of the many periodicals of the era to which Sem contributed, such as "Le Charivari," "L'Illustration," or "Le Rire," which were popular platforms for political satire and critique through visual art.

As with many works of caricature from the period, "El Padre Claret y Sor Patrocinio" would be of interest to scholars studying the intersection of art, politics, and religion in 19th-century Europe, as well as to those examining the role of caricature in shaping public opinion and discourse.
