Too Late to Change, The Saturday Evening Post story illustration, August 19, 1950 1950

"Too Late to Change" is an illustration by American artist Robert G. Harris, created for *The Saturday Evening Post* in 1950. The painting features a woman in a blue dress, gazing intently at a flowering bonsai tree. Her expression suggests contemplation and perhaps regret, hinting at the story the illustration accompanies. The use of rich colors and a soft focus creates a romantic, evocative mood, characteristic of Harris's style. This work is a prime example of the illustrative style prevalent in American magazines of the mid-20th century.
