This painting was created for the December 20, 1930 issue of Liberty Magazine, for which the artist illustrated covers on a weekly basis for six consecutive years. Thrasher is known for his scenes of everyday American life imbued with a sense of humor, qualities represented to great effect in this charming painting.

He was also a successful commercial artist, painting advertisements for Cream of Wheat, Chesterfield Cigarettes...
