The Jury, a Norman Rockwell painting , appeared on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post published February 14, 1959.

Apparently all of the male jurors have voted the same verdict.

Drawing on all their powers of persuasion, they are trying to convince the lady to change her vote.

She is having nothing of it. Her body language shows that she has made up her mind and is not changing her vote.

This is another self-portrait since we can see Rockwell painted himself as one of the jurors.

We also see Louie Lamone, Rockwell’s friend, confidant and assistant, in the red shirt and jacket.

The female juror was modeled by Barbara Brooks. Her husband, Bob Brooks, was the model for the mustached man standing next to the sleeping juror.
