The Prayers & Commandments of our Lord belongs to a long line of devotional pictures that pair the Lord's Prayer with the Ten Commandments, two texts Protestant and Catholic households alike were expected to learn by heart. Pictures like this were typically used in homes, Sunday schools and church rooms as visual aids for teaching scripture, and the combination of the two texts signals a pious, instructional purpose rather than a narrative scene. Its value to a researcher lies in what it reveals about how religious teaching was packaged for ordinary households in its period.
