About the Item

Approximate Date: 1957 Medium: Oil and Pencil on Board Signature: Signed Lower Left Sight Size 23.50" x 20.75", Framed 29.50" x 26.50" Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, January 5, 1957. The Post described, ““I wish to establish.” cries Dick Sargent, “that my wife is one of the best cooks in these United States!” All right, nobody is arguing. Maybe this explains how Sargent achieved such a frantically mouth watering expression on the face of Foxy, the dog; he had that tableful of taste-bud provocation in his studio for days without being able to do anything about it but paint it—so maybe he imagined what he would look like with a dog’s face, and executed a self-portrait…. Well, Foxy, as this is New Year’s-tide, when everybody should be happy, grab a few slices of ham and an orange basket, and go someplace fast. The hostess will recover, and join the other humans there in feeling happy too. In this year-turning time, may all the humans in every home feel likewise, and all the Foxys too.” (The Saturday Evening Post, January 5, 1957, p. 3)
