Josef August Untersberger (1864–1933) was an Austrian painter whose religious works carried a warmth and quiet reverence that reproduced faithfully across every format they appeared in. This particular image became one of the most beloved religious prints in American homes for much of the 20th century — the kind you may well have seen at a grandmother's or great-aunt's — and this lithograph version is among the finest quality examples of the advertisement print tradition that carried it into so many households.
