Portrait of Edna E. Redding 1919

Norman Rockwell, a renowned American illustrator, painted "Portrait of Edna E. Redding" in 1919. This oil-on-canvas painting showcases Rockwell's early, more realistic style, which differed from his later, more iconic, illustrative style. The portrait, featuring a young woman with striking blue eyes, demonstrates Rockwell's masterful attention to detail and ability to capture a subject's likeness. The muted color palette and subtle use of light contribute to the painting's intimate and introspective atmosphere.
