Norman Rockwell Ap "The Charwomen" 1946:
This is an artist proof of the 1946 Saturday Evening Post cover "The Charwomen". The ladies in question were well-respected neighbors of the artist, who had reservations about posing as cleaning ladies. Rockwell convinced them they were only acting. They were delighted with the result and said they would pose any time without argument. But sadly one women was asked to pose again, this time as a portly maid, and she never spoke to him again.

Provenance: Property of a lifelong Washington DC based antique collector and international businessman.
