"De Godzalige Huiszegen" (The Holy Household Blessing) is a woodblock print by Franciscus Antonius Beersmans, dating from 1866 - 1902. The print features three scenes. On the left, a figure kneels in prayer before a crucified Christ. The right side of the print depicts two separate scenes, one with the Virgin Mary and her son and the other with a church building and figures kneeling in prayer. This type of print is typical of devotional art, aimed at promoting religious piety and the worship of saints. It is a good example of the style of religious prints popular in 19th-century Europe.
