This is an exquisite, limited edition lithograph by the legendary American illustrator Norman Rockwell, titled "Summer’s Start" (also widely known as "The Haircut"). This piece captures a quintessential moment of Americana, depicting an outdoor haircut session between a barber and a young boy, complete with a sleeping dog and classic porch furniture. The work is characterized by Rockwell’s signature warmth, humor, and unparalleled ability to elevate everyday life into fine art.

The lithograph features a gold-stamped signature and includes the NR (Norman Rockwell) seal and a secondary authentication mark. This specific piece is hand-numbered 184/200, making it a highly collectible, small-batch edition. It comes professionally housed in a grand, ornate silver-toned frame with a cream-colored linen mat that perfectly complements the vintage aesthetic of the artwork. On the reverse, an Official Artist Statement from Art Actually LLC provides further provenance.
