Description: Grandpa's Little Ballerina Cellist and Little Girl Dancing by Norman Rockwell FYI: "Cellist and Little Girl Dancing, a Norman Rockwell painting, appeared on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post published February 3, 1923. The official title for this illustration is Cellist and Little Girl Dancing, but I have also heard it referred to as Grandpa's Little Ballerina. In this painting, the cellist Grandfather, modeled by Pop Fredericks, is playing the cello for a little girl, presumably his granddaughter. We do not know what tune he is playing, but apparently this little girl likes his playing and the tune enough to dance to it. The dance does not look like ballet, so the title Grandpa's Little Ballerina may not be entirely fitting. The cello, or more properly violoncello, is a four stringed instrument played by dragging a bow acress the strings. Pizzicato is the method of playing by plucking the strings. Grandpa is playing in the traditional method using right hand technique. He may pluck out the next song if his audience remains enraptured. The little girl's pose and dance are cute, She is holding her dress like she has seen the ladies do when they are dancing. Of course, they are trying to keep their dresses out of the way and her dress is really not long enough for that to be necessary. Her dress will be long enough one day and it's best to practice and be ready." This is a print taken from a vintage art book. Measures 14 x 10" inches. The print may/not have an image/text on the back. Comes unframed. About the Artist: "Norman Rockwell paintings are synonymous with the comforts and life of a small town. From landscapes to cute puppies to curious boys, his work will take you back to a simpler time when life moved slower, and neighbors knew one another.
