Vintage Relief Wood Carving “Grace” Icon This wood carving is a relief sculpture based on the iconic 1918 photograph "Grace" by Eric Enstrom. About the Subject The original image depicts Charles Wilden, a peddler in Bovey, Minnesota, who posed for Enstrom. The scene captures a humble man offering a prayer over a modest meal of bread and a bowl of gruel, with a Bible and his spectacles nearby. In 2002, "Grace" was designated the official state photograph of Minnesota. About the Carving Artist: Rodrigue Dion. Date: Created in February 2008. Style: Relief wood carving, a traditional folk-art style frequently practiced in Quebec, Canada. Artist Background: Research indicates Brother Rodrigue Dion (1933–2025) was a Marist Brother in Quebec. While Marist Brothers often engaged in craft and education, he was primarily known as a chemistry teacher. "Grace" remains one of the most widely reproduced pieces of religious art in the world, appearing in countless variations across photography, painting, and sculpture.
