Mr. Ekman actually had two Saturday Evening Post covers to his credit. The Jan. 6, 1945 was a rear view of a man bowling. You have that painting on your site as one that sold at auction. The only other Post cover that he did was for May 20, 1944, and had a small child with a tooth ache watching the other kids play outside through his bedroom window.My source is "Covers of the Saturday Evening Post" by Jan Cohn. I have also attached the image of the original oil on panel that I purchased. It was done in the early 1980's and is titled, " Shepherd of Monument Valley. " It was originally purchased by the late Lorraine Mullberger of the Miller brewing family of Scottsdale Arizona."Provenance: private art dealer estate Denver, Colorado.
