Rayner, who was born in 1806 and died in 1879, is primarily known for his architectural and historical subjects, often capturing the serene and contemplative atmosphere of ecclesiastical settings. This particular work exemplifies his skill in rendering detailed interiors and his interest in monastic life.

The painting depicts a group of monks engrossed in reading within the vestry of a monastery. The vestry, typically a room in a church where vestments and liturgical objects are stored, is portrayed with meticulous attention to architectural detail. Rayner's use of light and shadow enhances the tranquil and introspective mood of the scene, highlighting the monks' devotion to their scholarly pursuits. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figures arranged in a manner that guides the viewer's eye through the space, emphasizing the harmony and order of monastic life.

The textures of the stone walls, wooden furniture, and the monks' robes are rendered with a high degree of realism, showcasing Rayner's technical proficiency. The painting also reflects the Victorian era's fascination with medieval and religious themes, a common subject in the art and literature of the time.
