Boy and Dog in Quilt
|
This Norman Rockwell painting, entitled Boy and Dog in Quilt, appeared on the cover of American Magazine on the March 1923 issue...
(continued)
This was the seventh and last picture painted by Rockwell to appear on the American Magazine cover. American Magazine published only seven Rockwell illustrated covers, between 1918 and 1923.
Rockwell only submitted his work to this and other smaller magazines after the publishers of the larger magazines had declined to publish the cover illustration.
Clearly, Rockwell's first choice of publication was The Saturday Evening Post. He believed that the Post cover was America's biggest showcase window for artists. Of course, his career confirmed this.

Boy and Dog in Quilt
This is one of my favorite American magazine covers.Here we see a boy and his puppy looking out their bedroom window on a snowy day.
Both are wrapped up in a quilt, trying not to be cold.
It appears that the boy is sick. In the bottom right corner, we can see a bottle of medicine with a cork stopper. Next to that bottle is a spoon and a glass. It often helps the after-taste of medicine to wash it down with a drink of some kind. The boy has taken his medicine so he will feel better.
We don't know whether the dog is actually sick or not.
From the look on the boy's face, he is watching his friends play in the snow. Sad eyes and pouting lips complete his expression. It's no fun being inside while your friends are outside.
Even the little dog looks sad to be left out of the fun...
