About the Item

Medium: Oil on Board Signature: Signed Lower Left Sight Size 27.00" x 23.75;" Framed 34.50" x 37.50" Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, September 12, 1959. The Post described, “Ah-h-h, this beautiful moment, this sublime hour, this whole exquisite day! Doesn’t mother love her children? They are a joy to her, and her love encompasses all the work and care, the headaches and the pains in the neck that accrue to such joy. Nevertheless, ah-h-h! In mother’s ears is a faint, faraway ringing —would it be an echo of the youthful din that has dinned in her ears all summer, or does she think she hears what she is merely imagining, a school bell ringing? Anyway, peace. A dive onto the divan. A blessed wiggling of liberated toes. Coffee —and if she doesn't drink some in a hurry, she will fall asleep and spill it. The husband of Artist Amos Sewell’s pretty lady won’t find her here when he returns from work; long before the children will come thundering in.” (The Saturday Evening Post, September 12, 1959, p. 3)
