Farmer 1923

"Farmer" (1923) is a painting by American illustrator Norman Rockwell. Known for his portrayal of everyday life, Rockwell captures a moment of quiet reflection in this depiction of a farmer taking a break from his work. The farmer, dressed in overalls and a straw hat, is carefully examining a bird in his hands. The bird, in flight above him, is a symbol of freedom and nature, themes that are often found in Rockwell's work. This simple, yet poignant scene reflects Rockwell's ability to connect with the viewer through relatable imagery, and it is a testament to the enduring power of his art.
