Norman Rockwell, celebrated as America's foremost illustrator, captivated audiences with his heartfelt portrayals of everyday life and humor. Studying at Chase Art School, National Academy of Design, and the Art Students League, Rockwell’s career soared when he became art director at Boys’ Life. With meticulous preparation, from initial sketches to full-sized drawings, he created over 322 iconic Saturday Evening Post covers. Innovatively incorporating photography later in life, Rockwell's legacy spans photomontages of contemporary subjects, leaving an indelible mark on American art until his death in 1978.
The painting appears to be in good condition. Under UV examination, there is no evidence of restoration or inpainting.
