About the piece
Painted in 1837 by Carl Hartmann, this intimate oil painting captures the warm domesticity of the Biedermeier period. The composition centers on a grandmother watching her grandchild in prayer, surrounded by the details of a 19th-century home, including a large ceramic stove and a playful cat in the corner.
