Gezin aan tafel bidt voor de maaltijd 1895

Louise Danse's 1895 etching, "Gezin aan tafel bidt voor de maaltijd" (Family at the table prays before the meal), depicts a scene of Dutch domesticity. The print shows a family gathered around a table, heads bowed in prayer before a meal. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner of the print, along with the date 1895. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the daily lives of Dutch families in the late 19th century. The etching's focus on the act of prayer suggests a theme of family devotion and the importance of religious values in Dutch society.
