Norman Rockwell’s iconic “Jury Room” illustration:

Nice illustration. Very telling. And, he didn’t have to use a woman for that, but I understand why he did. He may have wanted a clear visual of difference. That could have been anyone that was sticking to their guns and not going with the group.

And I just noticed something. Did Norman put himself in the illustration, like Hitchcock used to appear in his films?

Look at the guy bent over standing just above the women’s head. Sure looks a bit like Rockwell.
