About the Artwork
"Before the Shot" is one of Norman Rockwell's most beloved and humorous illustrations of American mid-century life. It masterfully captures a relatable, lighthearted moment in a pediatric clinic: a young, curious boy standing on a chair to peek-read his doctor's official medical credentials while preparing to receive a vaccine injection
