Amsterdam, Netherlands

Seated at a table in a run-down interior, an elderly man and a young woman pray before their meal. The
painting contains a lesson that many Dutch Protestants learned at their mother’s knee: whether you are rich
or poor, sick or healthy, be grateful for all you have, for it is a gift from God.
