Triple Self Portrait 1960 - Norman Rockwell Print - Heavy Cardstock - Matte Print

Triple Self Portrait (1960) stands as one of Norman Rockwell’s most beloved and recognizable works—a witty, brilliantly composed look at the creative process and the humor Rockwell found in his own craft. Originally created for the Saturday Evening Post cover on February 13, 1960, this illustration captures Rockwell seated at his easel, studying himself in a mirror while painting an idealized version of his own likeness.

The scene is filled with Rockwell’s signature storytelling details: reference sketches pinned to the canvas, a pipe tucked in his mouth, and the gentle chaos of an artist’s studio. The contrast between the real Rockwell—slightly rumpled, deeply focused—and the polished portrait he paints is both humorous and deeply human. It’s a celebration of self‑reflection, creativity, and the playful honesty that made Rockwell an American icon.

Printed on heavy matte cardstock, this reproduction preserves the warm tones, expressive lines, and nostalgic charm of the original 1960 artwork. It’s a perfect piece for collectors, artists, and anyone who appreciates Rockwell’s ability to turn everyday moments into timeless Americana.
