Commentary from 102 Favorite Paintings by Norman Rockwell, Cross River Press, 1978: "When Rockwell painted this cover he and the magazine's editors must have been working on the assumption that most of the Post's readers would find it easier to identify with this pair of plumbers than with the owner of the boudoir in which they find themselves. The owner is absent, of course, but a beribboned Pekingese acts as her surrogate.... The setting tells us a good deal about the room's usual occupant.... Clearly this room belongs to a woman who likes to be seen in society, something of a big wheel in her chosen circle. As for the intruders, they are a well-realized pair of comic characters, a little reminiscent of Laurel and Hardy...." The "Plumbers" appeared on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post on June 2, 1951.
