Boy Looking Through Telescope

This Norman Rockwell painting explores the fascination that young boys feel for the sea.

Here we see an old salt sitting on the dock. Rockwell portrays him as a seaman who has certainly experienced much in his life. Notice the sailor's peg leg.

His clothing also expresses his seamanship. He has an anchor on his sweater. his hat is a sailor's hat. His work trousers have been patched in the knee, but they are not in disrepair.

Contrast the sailor with the boy. The boy's sailor outfit is all white, brand new and perfectly clean.

The boy was playing with his toy sailboat until he spied the sailor sitting with his parrot. The sailor enjoys the attention of the boy. He offers the boy a look through his telescope.

Of course the boy's arms are not long enough to hold the telescope fully extended. So the sailor helps the boy to enjoy the full benefits of the extended telescope...
