Norman Rockwell 'Knuckles Down' Art Print

This item is a framed print of Norman Rockwell's iconic illustration titled 'Knuckles Down,' which originally appeared as the cover of The Saturday Evening Post on September 2, 1939. The image depicts two boys and a girl intently engaged in a competitive game of marbles on the ground. The central figure is a young girl in a blue polka-dot dress concentrated on her shot, while a boy in a red skullcap and another in a striped shirt look on. The print showcases Rockwell's signature Americana style, characterized by detailed facial expressions and nostalgic domestic themes. The artwork is housed in a contemporary distressed white wooden frame with a silver-toned inner lip, protected by glass. Notable markings include Norman Rockwell's facsimile signature on the right of the image and a caption at the bottom margin reading 'Knuckles Down — September 2, 1939.' Smaller copyright and manufacturing text is visible in the bottom left and right corners, suggesting this is a mid-to-late 20th-century reproduction rather than an original periodical cover. The condition appears fair to good; the print itself shows slight yellowing consistent with age, and there is a circular reddish glare/reflection on the glass in the lower right quadrant which is not part of the artwork. The frame shows intentional distressing but lacks significant damage or chips.
