Lazy Day Lithograph Appraisal

Norman Rockwell 'Daydreaming' (Lazy Day) Limited Edition Lithograph

This is a limited edition lithograph by the iconic American illustrator Norman Rockwell, titled 'Daydreaming' (alternatively known as 'Lazy Day'). The image depicts a classic Rockwellian scene of a young barefoot boy in denim overalls and a red shirt napping alongside his faithful beagle while a fishing pole rests nearby. The print measures 21 inches in height by 16 inches in width. It features a hand-penciled edition number '370/2800' in the lower left and a 'Norman Rockwell' signature in the lower right, appearing to be part of the plate or a lithographic signature rather than a wet-ink original. The artwork is presented on a cream-colored heavy paper stock. It is professionally matted in a wide white mat and housed in a traditional wood frame with a dark finish and a silver-toned inner lip accent. The condition appears fair to good; there are some visible ripples or undulations in the paper, likely due to moisture or improper mounting, and a small smudge or mark is visible on the upper section of the mat. The colors remain vibrant, showcasing the narrative warmth hallmark of the mid-20th-century Americana style.
