About the Item

Medium: Oil on Board Signature: Signed Lower Left Sight Size 27.00" x 23.75;" Framed 34.50" x 37.50" Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, September 12, 1959. The Post described, “Ah-h-h, this beautiful moment, this sublime hour, this whole exquisite day! Doesn’t mother love her children? They are a joy to her, and her love encompasses all the work and care, the headaches and the pains in the neck that accrue to such joy. Nevertheless, ah-h-h! In mother’s ears is a faint, faraway ringing —would it be an echo of the youthful din that has dinned in her ears all summer, or does she think she hears what she is merely imagining, a school bell ringing? Anyway, peace. A dive onto the divan. A blessed wiggling of liberated toes. Coffee —and if she doesn't drink some in a hurry, she will fall asleep and spill it. The husband of Artist Amos Sewell’s pretty lady won’t find her here when he returns from work; long before the children will come thundering in.” (The Saturday Evening Post, September 12, 1959, p. 3)

"The Courtship" Wayman Adams, circa 1920 New Orleans Figures in Interior Scene
By Wayman Adams
Located in New York, NY
Wayman Adams The Courtship, circa 1920 Signed upper right; titled on the reverse Oil on board 16 x 12 inches Adams was born on a farm in rural Indiana near Muncie. His father, a horse farmer and amateur artist, encouraged the younger Adams’ interest in art. At age twenty-one, Adams moved to Indianapolis to attend the John Herron Art Institute. There, he began to paint portraits. He took two trips to Europe, the first in 1910 when he traveled to Italy with William Merritt Chase. Two years later, he accompanied Robert Henri to Spain where he met fellow artist Margaret Boroughs, whom he married six years later.
