"Gebed Voor Het Eten" (Prayer Before Eating) is an oil painting by Belgian artist Henri Houben (1858–1931), known for his genre scenes and portraits that often depicted the lives of ordinary people in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This work is emblematic of Houben's artistic style, which combined elements of realism and naturalism to capture the intimate and everyday moments of his subjects.

The painting portrays a domestic scene where individuals are gathered around a table, pausing for a moment of reflection or prayer before a meal. The composition likely reflects the social customs and religious practices of the time, emphasizing the importance of gratitude and family unity. Houben's attention to detail in the depiction of the figures, the table setting, and the surrounding interior space contributes to the viewer's understanding of the period's cultural context.

As with many of Houben's pieces, "Gebed Voor Het Eten" is characterized by its warm color palette and the use of light to enhance the painting's emotional depth. The artist's brushwork and the realistic portrayal of textures and materials demonstrate his technical skill and his ability to convey a sense of immediacy and presence.

While "Gebed Voor Het Eten" is not as widely recognized as the works of some of Houben's contemporaries, it remains a valuable example of genre painting from the era and offers insight into the social and religious customs of Belgium at the turn of the century. The painting is a testament to Houben's dedication to capturing the essence of daily life and the human condition, themes that are recurrent throughout his body of work.
