식사 전 기도 by Jan Steen

Jan Steen was famous for painting rowdy, chaotic Dutch taverns, but here he captures a rare moment of quiet domestic piety. A humble family gathers around a table laden with bread and cheese, bowing their heads to say grace before their meal. The father respectfully holds his hat while the mother clasps her hands in prayer, though the children's wide-eyed expressions suggest they are just waiting to dig in. Steen often hid moral lessons in his genre scenes, reminding viewers that gratitude should always come before the feast.
