This painting is one of my favorites of Rockwell's. It's a painting of Herb Lubalin redesigning the masthead for the Saturday Evening Post and was used for the cover to introduce the new logo in 1961. The new logo was to give the Post a modern new look because the introduction of the television had driven magazine sales down around that time. 
The Clark Museum had some great piece and when I saw this Gaugin portrait, I couldn't help but think that the 'Young Christian Girl' (1964) looks just like Jennifer Coolidge from some of my favorite movies; A Might Wind and Best in Show...
