This oil painting by the iconic artist Norman Rockwell is called "Freedom from Want." It also is known as "The Thanksgiving Picture" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas."
It is the third work in the "Four Freedoms" series of four oil paintings by Rockwell inspired by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1941 State of the Union Address, a speech known as "Four Freedoms."
The painting was created in November 1942 and published in the March 6, 1943 issue of The Saturday Evening Post magazine. All of the people in the picture were friends and family of Rockwell in Arlington, Vermont, who were photographed individually and painted into the scene.
