"Old Woman Saying Grace," also known as "The Prayer Without End," is a renowned 17th-century painting by Dutch artist Nicolaes Maes, a pupil of Rembrandt. Created in 1656, this work is an exemplar of the Dutch Golden Age genre painting, showcasing Maes' skill in capturing the intimate and serene moments of everyday life.

The painting depicts an elderly woman, absorbed in her devotion, saying grace before a simple meal. The scene is set in a modest interior, illuminated by a soft light that enhances the spiritual atmosphere of the moment. The woman's bowed head and folded hands are rendered with delicate attention to detail, reflecting the piety and humility of her character. The still life elements on the table, including a loaf of bread and a pewter jug, are depicted with realistic precision, characteristic of the Dutch still life tradition.

Nicolaes Maes' "Old Woman Saying Grace" is celebrated for its quiet dignity and the emotional depth it conveys through the portrayal of a solitary figure in prayer. The painting's composition, use of light, and the psychological insight into the subject are indicative of Maes' mastery and his ability to infuse genre scenes with a profound sense of humanity.

This artwork is not only a testament to Maes' talent and his contribution to Dutch genre painting but also provides a window into the religious and cultural practices of the period. "Old Woman Saying Grace" remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Nicolaes Maes and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
