Grandma's Hearthstone, by John Haberle (1890)


The kids and I stared at this giant painting (it's 96 by 66 inches) for about ten minutes the other day (you can click on the above image to see it huge). There's a bit of a trompe-l'oeil effect and it hangs on the wall in one of our favorite parts of the museum.

Grandma must have been a pretty cool lady, we all agreed.
