Father and Son 1972

Norman Rockwell's 1972 painting, "Father and Son", exemplifies his signature style of Americana. The scene depicts a father and son in a comfortable living room, possibly discussing college plans. The father holds a document, perhaps a college acceptance letter, while the son sits attentively. The dog, a beagle, sits quietly at the father's feet, adding a touch of warmth and domesticity to the scene. Rockwell's use of realistic details, warm colors, and a sentimental subject matter makes this a quintessential example of his work, popular for its relatable depiction of family life.
