The artwork depicts an interior scene focused on an individual engaged in a game of solitaire. The setting suggests a modest and personal environment, with the central figure—an older man—seated on the edge of a well-made bed that occupies a significant portion of the foreground. The room is bathed in a warm, red hue, evoking a feeling of coziness and intimate domesticity. A single lamp hanging from the ceiling casts a soft light that illuminates the man and the game of cards arranged neatly on a portable case or suitcase, which serves as a makeshift table for his solitary pastime. On the left side of the artwork, one can observe a simple wooden chair and a corner of a bedside table, while the wall is adorned with an oval-framed portrait of a figure and a rectangular painting displaying an equestrian scene. To the right of the man, there is an end table holding a candlestick and an ashtray, indicating a time before electric light was ubiquitous. The presence of a suitcase labeled “E-Z Mills Inc. Sample Case” at the foot of the bed suggests that the man could be a traveling salesman, resting and entertaining himself alone in his rented room. Rockwell’s astute attention to detail can also be seen in the intricate patterning of the carpet, the textured bedspread, and the wood grain in the furniture, which all contribute to the rich visual narrative. The solemn concentration of the man on his game reflects a moment of quiet introspection or perhaps a respite from a wearying routine. Despite the simplicity of the subject matter, Rockwell skillfully invokes a story surrounding the man’s life, his travels, and the solace he finds in a simple deck of cards.

John Brown, 1939
by John Steuart Curry
Metropolitan Museum
(Study for Tragic Prelude, mural at the Kansas State Capital)
Once in awhile I like to revisit the cultural ferment of the 1930s, and this wild image of Brown captures a certain something about America.

A 20th century facsimile edition of a 17th Century work entitled "The Exercise of Armes" by Jacob De Gheyn. The dust jacket shows a circa 1607 etching of three well-dressed, bearded men in wide-brimmed, feathered hats. All are carrying very large blunderbuss-style guns. The background for the artwork is printed in solid red. Above the illustration a black panel shows the title and author's name in white letters.
A book entitled "Selected Cautionary Verses", by Hilaire Belloc. On a yellow background a black & white line drawing shows an elderly man speaking to a young boy. His hand is on the boy's shoulder.
A square black art book with white letters spelling out the title in capitalized, sans-serif letters: Whispers: "Ulay on Ulay". The author's names are not shown.
A square format book entitled "Grant Wood: The Regionalist Vision", by Wanda M. Corn. A painting by the artist shows a birds-eye view looking down on rolling green hills, with a tiny farmer and his horse tilling a field in the foreground. A farm house can be seen in the distance on the left. Titles of the book are overlaid in white letters.
Books shipping to new homes this morning.
