The caption "Thy will be done on earth" comes from the Lord's Prayer, and this picture pairs that petition with a winged angel standing beside a woman and her baby. Sentimental religious images like this were popular in the nineteenth century, when printed devotional pictures hung in homes and were often given as gifts or used in Sunday schools. Angels in such scenes usually stand for protection and quiet faith, presenting domestic life as something watched over by heaven. The phrase asks that God's purpose be accepted in everyday circumstances, so the image reads as both a comfort and a lesson in trust.
