Norman Rockwell has always been one of my favorite artists. He really pays attention to detail. He draws the the wrinkles in the clothes and the shadows under the muscles in the legs of the girl. Rockwell's drawings and paintings are usually rather simple like this one. There is not much to the background at all, just a simple bench. I really appreciate that the face of the woman on the magazine doesn't exactly line up with where the girls face would be. He arranged it to be really close and give a certain feeling but he off set it ever so slightly, making it more realistic. It seems more natural that way rather than posed.
