Published in 1911 for Carl H. Claudy’s popular book Tell-Me-Why: Stories about Mother Nature, this illustration represents one of Norman Rockwell’s earliest paid commissions. Created when Rockwell was just seventeen while studying at the Art Students League of New York, the artwork displays the seeds of his lifelong narrative mastery. Illustrating nature fables and educational tales for young readers, Rockwell combined clean figurative drawing, engaging storytelling composition, and classic Golden Age illustration techniques, laying the foundation for his historic future at Boys’ Life and The Saturday Evening Post.
