Pippin represents a family bowing their heads in prayer prior to sharing a meal. The table and two chairs at the center of the composition connect the center of the space to the sleeping area and kitchen, all of which are contained in the log cabin's single room. The depiction of wood grain in the texture of the walls and furniture stems from Pippin's earlier technique of directly painting and etching wooden panels, as we see in the nearby picture Supper Time .
