Begging for Turkey, J.C. Leyendecker, illustration for Saturday Evening Post Thanksgiving cover, December 2, 1933, oil on canvas, 32 x 24 inches (82 x 60 cm). Link is to the artwork on The Illustrated Gallery, large image here.
Another wonderful display of illustrative finess by the great American illustrator. Leyendecker seems to be way less interested in the turkey or even the dogs, than the lushly rendered attire of our off-balance server.
