Saying Grace 1923

"Saying Grace," painted in 1923 by Austrian artist Albin Egger-Lienz, depicts a family pausing for a prayer before a simple meal. The scene, characterized by its earthy tones and stark simplicity, reflects the artist's focus on the lives of rural Tyrolean people. This small but powerful painting, now housed at the Tyrolean State Museum in Innsbruck, Austria, is a poignant example of Egger-Lienz's ability to capture the essence of everyday moments and elevate them to a level of profound human experience.
