		Attributed to Haddon H. Sundblom, this outstanding painting, featuring a very happy baby being lifted into the arms of his adoring mother, was used by The Prudential Insurance Company as the cover illustration for its 1940 promotional publication, which was entitled simply The Prudential.
		Though in the Sundblom style, there is certainly the possibility that it was created by one of the Sundblom Studio artists, who worked under Sundblom’s direction, as opposed to by Sundblom himself.
		This is a very successful painting, ideal as a representation of Sundblom Studios work and as an example of classic commercial illustration art which is also ideal for home décor.
