Girl With Black Eye

Girl With Black Eye

In the painting, “Girl With Black Eye” by Norman Rockwell, it is clear that the artist was trying to show that the girl was in a fight. The first way this is shown is that the girl is injured, she has a black eye and a band-aid. This shows that she could have been in a very physical fight, where she would have gotten injured. Second, the girl has very rough clothes, an untucked and messed up shirt with a rolled up sleeve. Lastly it seems as if the mother is in the principal's office, with a shocked look on her face. This evidence confirms that the artist's intent was to show that the girl was in a fight.
