This framed offset lithograph, titled "The Discovery" (alternatively known as "The Truth About Santa"), captures a poignant moment of childhood realization. The illustration depicts a young boy who has discovered a Santa Claus suit inside a dresser drawer, looking directly at the viewer with a surprised and enlightened expression. Originally appearing as a cover for The Saturday Evening Post on December 29, 1956, this piece is a classic example of Rockwell's ability to blend humor with the universal experiences of growing up. This item originates from the Norman Rockwell Museum of the South collection.
