lllustration for The Saturday Evening Post, February 22, 1936. Oil on canvas. Private collection. ©1936 SEPS: Curtis Licensing, Indianapolis, IN. All rights reserved.
This title is especially memorable because it depicts one of Rockwell's kindred spirits from times past - the colonial sign painter. This was the second time Rockwell painted a colonial sign painter for the Saturday Evening Post, however the difference this time is that he included inquisitive townspeople looking on while he paints. The onlookers, most likely analyzing and commenting on his every brushstroke, are the larger focus of this work.
