StonePosters and DesignsValentine Stories and ActivitiesSongs, Plays, MusicStudy of Norman Rockwell by Anne Heaton PerryCover info:This painting alludes to Betsy Ross who was the most famous seamstress of the American Flag. The flag pictured here, however, has its stars in horizontal rows, instead of in a circle. Rockwell was not attempting to paint Betsy Ross because he was a stickler for detail. Had he meant to paint Betsy Ross, the flag would have been authentic. Rockwell would have commissioned a seamstress to sew an authentic early American flag if necessary.This seamstress appears to be mending the gold fringe on this American flag.On the table is a soldier's hat propped on top of her sewing box. The hat appears to be a keepsake from an earlier war.Rockwell also gives us an insight into the seamstress. At the top of the painting, we can see the cage for her pet bird. Both bird and owner are enjoying the sunshine streaming through the window.
