NORMAN ROCKWELL Triple Self-Portrait, 2000

Norman Rockwell (1894–1978) was a renowned American illustrator, best known for his covers of *The Saturday Evening Post*, capturing idealized scenes of everyday life. Over his career, he produced more than 4,000 works, including illustrations for over 40 books and presidential portraits.
