Black and white image of a religious themed engraving by Johann Theodor de Bry titled "Prayer". The engraving depicts a rural scene with a church on the left and a field on the right. The sky above has dense clouds and a radiant sun. Christ sits on a cloud above, holding a spear and orb. A dove flies to the right. Hebrew text appears in the sun. Two cherubs float below Christ. The foreground shows a kneeling family in 16th century attire, with hands clasped in prayer. The father stands behind the mother, who is sitting and looking up. The two children in front are also kneeling and looking up. The family is surrounded by fruit and vegetables at their feet. In the background on the left, people walk towards the church. The scene blends elements of everyday life with religious imagery.
