Norman Rockwell's painting for the Literary Digest cover published on May 8, 1920.

This is typical of the kind of cover Rockwell contributed to the Literary Digest over a period of several years. He usually sought his subject matter in quiet domestic moments, and for this magazine the presentation was always direct and simple. Looking at this cover today, it is probably the detail-the young woman's dress, the fabric in the chair-that is most interesting.
