Description

This was with a collection of other Norman Rockwell's when it was initially bought by the original owner. He had it for many years when it cost much less to get one and I have had it for many years as well.

To me it looks like an ad or part of one due to the text in the upper right. I need to know for sure so ideally it would be great to find the ad if it was ever published. The text says "You" and nothing else so it is probable that is part of a bigger piece maybe similar to the way a comic book double page splash is done. The You looks like the start of a phrase because of the quotation marks. The same size piece on the right would make it a perfect bus ad or something along those lines.

The painting is cracked from age and the illustration board is much older than anything you can get today, it is from the right era. I'm just putting it up here in case anyone has seen this ad or has any positive insight.

Have you checked the L. Moffat book? It has a mostly complete archives of everything that Rockwell ever did. The man looks very Rockwell and somewhat familiar, but not sure. You could also ask the guys at Illustration House for some help.

GREAT piece! It could also possibly be another illustration legend, Haddon Sundblom, who was best known for his Coca-Cola Santa ads. Or even one of Sunblom's proteges, many of whom became legends in their own right (Chuck Showalter, Gil Elvgren, etc.)- they did advertising work out of a Chicago studio and often used that kind of "lush" red in their shadows.

Thanks for the insight I appreciate it. I'll look around at their work.
