(continued) The alternate title for this painting is Woman Daydreaming in Attic. This illustration was Rockwell's forty-sixth picture featured on the cover of The Literary Digest. Rockwell painted forty-seven Digest covers in all. Rockwell artwork was featured on the cover of The Digest five times just in 1923. Dreams in the Antique ShopWith this painting, Norman Rockwell portrays a young woman lost in her thoughts. She seems oblivious to her surroundings. The viewer is left to ponder where she is visiting in her thoughts. The young woman has paused right in the middle of polishing a brass object. Her boss, the antique shop owner, is right around the corner. He is either working on the books, pricing or evaluating a new acquisition and doen't notice her. 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. Almost as if on cue, the store cat is coming into view. The cat is about to knock over a piece of brass that the young woman has just polished and set aside. Her daydream is about to be interrupted. Other points of interest in this painting are the many and varied antiques Rockwell has depicted for sale in the shop. We see picture frames, a spinning wheel, jars, vases, figurines, drapes, tapestries and, of course, polished brass. The detail of the woodwork on the side of her boss's desk is beautiful. Rockwell's attention to detail really shines through with this painting.
