The Little Model by Norman RockwellMarch 29, 1919 Issue of Collier'sThe Little Model, this Norman Rockwell painting, appeared on the cover of Collier's published March 29, 1919... (continued) This was the second cover by Rockwell to appear on Collier's and the second of four in 1919. Only four Rockwell covers were published by Collier's, all in 1919.

In her mind, her work dress has become an evening gown, her old hat a fashionable cap, her work boots a pair of high heels and her old shawl a fur drape. Her broom has been transformed into a decorative walking stick. Her dog appears to want her to quit daydreaming and start sweeping, so he can once again harass the broom.
Imagination is a powerful force. Rockwell gives us a glimpse into its light side
