Freedom from Want, Norman Rockwell (1942)

Also known as The Thanksgiving Picture, Freedom from Want is the third in a series of four paintings in a collection known as the Four Freedoms.

The four oil paintings by artist Norman Rockwell were said to be inspired by the 1941 State of the Union Address (known as Four Freedoms), given by then-US President, Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Created in November 1942, the painting was published in the March 6, 1943, issue of The Saturday Evening Post. 

On a personal note, I find it deeply regrettable that, aside from extending clemency to a turkey, Joe Biden chose not to exercise his executive authority to blanket commute the death sentences of all the inmates on federal death row, as promised during his presidential campaign.
