Fishing 1921 - Norman Rockwell Print - Heavy Cardstock - Matte Print

Norman Rockwell’s Fishing—also known as Pals—was published August 13, 1921 as a Saturday Evening Post cover. This charming summer scene shows two barefoot children lounging on a makeshift raft, shaded by a bright umbrella, lines cast into the water as their loyal dog sits between them. Rockwell captures the quiet magic of childhood: simple tools, simple joys, and the kind of friendship that makes an ordinary afternoon feel unforgettable.

Painted during Rockwell’s early storytelling era, Fishing reflects his gift for turning everyday rural life into warm, nostalgic Americana. Collectors love this piece for its gentle humor, its relaxed composition, and its timeless portrayal of summer leisure.
