What is the Norman Rockwell painting with the birthday boy in it?

Question

"Katz's face lit up like the birthday boy in a Norman Rockwell painting." (Bryson 80) I can't find the painting my book is talking about.

Answer 1

 

Hi! It is more than likely a wonderful and 

descriptive way to 'paint' a portrait of the 

character. Using Norman Rockwell's exquisite 

facility to create timeless expressions, we can 

have no doubt, in our mind's eye, of Katz's joyous 

expression.
