Photo of a study for "The Problem We All Live With"

This is a photograph of an initial oil on canvas color study done by Norman Rockwell. In this study, we see the little girl (Ruby Bridges) toward the right side of the painting. Rockwell would later move the girl to the left side of the page. The reason the girl is not in the center of the page is because the painting would appear in the magazine as a two-page spread. The center of the image would be relegated to the "gutter" where the two pages are seamed together.
