“Missing Tooth” by Norman Rockwell on the cover of “The Saturday Evening Post,” September 7, 1957.

Rockwell was inspired tor this painting while creating a series of ads for Crest Toothpaste. Anne Morgan, now Anne Morgan Baker, the daughter of one of Rockwell's friends, showed up for her Crest portrait missing her two front teeth, a right of passage for children losing their baby teeth.
