Fine Original Modernist Oil

Brilliant original Modernist (1988) study of the 1939 painting form the Saturday Evening Post entitled The Jester by Norman Rockwell .  This is a brilliant and very well done copy of Rockwell’s original and looks almost as if it is the original painting.  Medium is oil on canvas done in a Realist style.  Signed and dated Babs ‘88 in the bottom right hand corner; worthy of further research.
In Excellent overall condition.  Clean, bright and vibrant; with only the most minimal signs of wear.  No holes, rips or tears.  Exhibits a pin hole sized knick to the right of the Jester but not noticeable until a much closer inspection is done.  Framed in a dual wood frame with white painted interior wood frame and cream matting housed in a rich chocolate brown wood frame.  Frame exhibits gentle wear and soiling.  Ready to hang.  Displays brilliantly!
Provenance comes from a large collection purchased from the estate of a southern Massachusetts art dealer. Originally created for the February 11, 1939 Saturday Evening Post cover, Jester is a typical post cover that strived to depict a single situation. However, Rockwell found it more interesting to paint complex feelings. Jester is an example of Rockwell creating a single situation with conflicting emotions. The jester's sad face clashes with his responsibility of bringing happiness to others. Painting measures 14 1/2” x 11”.  Frame measures 17 3/4” x 14 3/4”.  Please feel free to submit an offer.
