"Grandpa and Me: Ice Skating Print by Norman Rockwell Norman Rockwell is arguably the most beloved American Illustrator of the 20th century. Beloved for his beautiful renditions of American life, Rockwell had a long and successful career illustrating for major publications, most notably the Saturday Evening Post. "Grandpa and Me: Ice Skating is one of Rockwells most popular illustrations depicting young boy in awe of his Grandpa as he completes a figure eight on the frozen pond. The sheer joy in the expression on the grandfathers face is unmistakably Rockwell right down to his rosy cheeks. The figures in the composition have been embossed so that the print is raised in those areas creating additional dimension. Rockwells original painting of this image recently sold in auction at Sothebys for $340,000 and prints of it are highly collectible as well. The print has been matted in rich rust which compliments the grandpas scarf and gloves. It is handsomely mounted in an ornate gold and deep brown frame with a leather-like finish which brings the total dimensions of the piece to 12 ¼ x 15 ¼. It is truly a wonderful piece of Americana that would be an affordable addition to any Rockwell collection, or wonderful gift for the Rockwell collector in your family.
