Original pencil sketch by Norman Rockwell on an off-white 11 x 14 sheet, depicting a young boy with neatly combed hair in a formal bust-length pose, signed below, "Norman Rockwell." In fine condition, with marginal stains, and a short tear to the top edge, all of which could be re-matted out to produce an impressive display. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. A sensational original Rockwell sketch of an unidentified young boy, his nervous expression with wide eyes and reluctant smile typical of the stuffy schoolbook picture or the conservative photo studio portrait. Original drawings by Rockwell are rarely offered, with this large and superb rendering wonderfully in keeping with so many of the artist's timeless works on American youth and innocence.
