February 14, 1959 Issue of The Saturday Evening Post (Cover)

Although many of his images are humorous, in "The Jury Room" Rockwell comments on society : he shows a woman holding firm while being pressured by the 11 male members of the jury.

In 1959, three states didn’t permit women to be jurors and other states limited women’s participation in juries. The painting also connects to the classic film Twelve Angry Men, which came out two years earlier.
