"A Portrait of a Family Saying Grace Before a Meal" is a painting by Gortzius Geldorp, a Flemish portrait painter active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Geldorp, born in Leuven in 1553, was known for his detailed and expressive portraiture, which often depicted the sitters in domestic or personal settings. This particular work is notable for its depiction of a family engaged in the intimate and reverent act of saying grace before a meal, highlighting the importance of religious practices in daily life during the period.

The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, both in the rendering of the figures and the setting. The family members are portrayed with individualized features, suggesting a personal commission likely intended to convey the piety and unity of the family. The composition is balanced, with the figures arranged around a table in a manner that invites the viewer into the scene, creating a sense of participation in the private moment.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not known, stylistic elements suggest it was produced during Geldorp's mature period, after he had established himself in Cologne, where he worked for much of his career. "A Portrait of a Family Saying Grace Before a Meal" serves as an example of Geldorp's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects and the cultural context of his time, offering insight into the social and religious customs of the era.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been studied for its artistic merit as well as its contribution to understanding the genre of family portraiture in Northern European art. As with many works of this period, it provides valuable information about the clothing, interior design, and social habits of the time, making it a significant piece for historians and art enthusiasts alike.
