Girl Expert at Plumbing: Liberty

Liberty
Herbert Paus, 20th century

Saying Grace

Saying Grace
Cornelis Pietersz Bega, 1663

Notice how the whole house around them seems settled and tired, as if at the end of a long day of work. He fades into the background as the curve of her face is highlighted in what seems like a doorway's light.

Why do they look so surprised? Well, this picture is a composite of two separate pictures, and wasn't originally about this sort of brutality!
