Measure of Love
Norman Percevel Rockwell
1894-1978
Hand Signed Lithograph
21 1/2 x 20 in. (54.6 x 50.8 cm)
Artist's Proof; Pure Rockwell — a barefoot boy in overalls and a cowboy hat carefully measures out medicine from a bottle, tending to his ailing puppy tucked into a makeshift bed with the same seriousness a doctor might bring to a patient. The scene captures everything Rockwell did better than anyone: the tenderness of childhood, the bond between a boy and his dog, and the quietly heroic dignity of small, earnest acts of care. Rendered with his characteristic warmth and narrative precision, this hand-signed lithograph is an exceptionally collectible and immediately lovable example of America's most beloved illustrator at his storytelling best.
