The Lord's Prayer (Le "Pater Noster") James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Lord's Prayer (Le "Pater Noster"), 1886-1896. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 8 1/2 x 6 7/16 in. ( x cm). Gathered around Jesus, the disciples ask him to teach them to pray. With arms opened wide and hands upraised in a gesture of humility, Jesus begins his prayer with an acknowledgment of God’s power in heaven and on earth. (Tissot places Jesus between the color-streaked sky and the ground on which his disciples sit, further signifying Jesus’ place between the human and the divine.
