## Caption

Rockwell painted Happy Skiers on a Train  in 1948 at the height of his success, describing it as a ‘timid  commuter who finds himself on a train packed with boisterous weekenders  on their way to the ski slopes.’ To create the composition, he had train seats sent to his studio in  Arlington and asked his friends to pose as passengers. The woman in the  upper right-hand corner is his wife, Mary.
