Description of the table: this table measures 113.5 cm x 87.5 cm. It is an oil on canvas. It is N. Rockwell's triple self-portrait. We see the artist from behind, sitting on a stool. It is in front of a canvas and leans over to look at his reflection in a mirror located on a Chair to his left. This golden mirror is decorated with the Eagle American symbol of the United States. The painter's right hand is raised, she holds a brush on the canvas, which draws the portrait of the artist as black and white. The image in the mirror is a reflection of the painter is watching (same size, color and posture). He wears glasses that hide his eyes and smokes a pipe. The portrait on canvas, him, has no glasses. He looks younger than the model. The pipe is straight unlike the 'reality'. To the right of the canvas of the painter are hung reproductions of four self-portraits: that of Dürer, Rembrandt, Picasso and Van Gogh. The bridge is topped by a helmet of a firefighter. Details referring to the fire There are several small details in the table that attract the gaze of the spectator: a glass balanced on an open book, a white cloth out of the back pocket of the painter's pants, brushes on the floor. At the foot of the painter is a bucket full of crumpled paper where escapes from the smoke. The smoke with the headphones above the horse, burned to the ground and pipe matches evoke a highlight in the life of the painter: that of the fire of 1943 in his studio in Arlington Vermont, caused by a bad off pipe having set fire to rags in a basket, which resulted in the loss of a large number of its objects personal and work.
