Grace (photograph)

Grace (photograph)

Grace is a 1918 photograph by Eric Enstrom. It depicts an elderly man, Charles Wilden, with hands folded, saying a prayer over a table with a simple meal. It was created in Bovey, Minnesota. In 2002, an act of the Minnesota State Legislature established it as the state photograph.

A similar picture featuring an old woman praying at a table photographed by Jack Garren and called Gratitude is often paired with "Grace" as an inspirational "Grace and Gratitude" diptych.
