This is a side story. A few years ago an elderly couple lived next door to me. Very nice people. You could tell that the lady had to have been quite attractive in her younger days. She still had an elegance about her.

Over the mantle they had a Rockwell original painting. It was a painting of an elegantly dressed lady standing on the back of a pumpkin shaped horse drawn carriage kind of like the Cinderella story. Turns out it was my neighbor who posed for that painting and Mr. Rockwell gave her the original after it was published on The Saturday Evening Post. They had the painting insured for $750,000.
