The Artist's Daughter by Norman RockwellSeptember 23, 1922 Issue of The Literary DigestThe Artist's Daughter, this Norman Rockwell painting, appeared on the cover of The Literary Digest published September 23, 1922... (continued) The alternate title for this painting is Little Girl with Palette at Easel. This illustration was Rockwell's fortieth picture featured on the cover of The Literary Digest. Rockwell artwork was featured on the cover of The Digest nine times just in 1922. The Artist's DaughterRockwell loved painting children in amusing situations. Here we see an artist's daughter painting a portrait of her doll. Her doll apparently makes a very good model, never breaking a pose and never needing a break. And the doll's modeling fee is right in her budget. This painting was only one of 47 Norman Rockwell Literary Digest covers; here is the list of more Norman Rockwell Literary Digest scans.
Here is the complete list of all Norman Rockwell magazine covers. She holds the paintbrush the way she has seen her parent, the artist, hold it. She also holds it the same way old photos show Rockwell held his paintbrush. She uses a prop from the palette to the canvas to keep the canvas within easy reach. The chair she is sitting in is too high to allow her feet to touch the floor. We can safely assume that she is using the artist parent's painting tools and paint. Whether she has been encouraged to develop her talent is the real question this painting evokes.
The Literary Digest editors named this painting. At the time, Rockwell had no children. He never had a daughter, so the painting's title is even more ironic. We can safely assume that this must have been some other artist's daughter...
