Bordbøn i Alsace 1848 - 1870

"Bordbøn i Alsace" (Table Prayer in Alsace) is a black and white lithograph by Danish artist Joel Ballin, depicting a scene of a family gathered for a meal. The artwork, created between 1848 and 1870, captures a moment of domesticity and religious observance in a simple Alsatian home. The composition features a group of figures, including adults and children, arranged around a table, with a sense of quiet reverence. This artwork is a prime example of Danish realism, and is currently displayed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
