From the Saturday Evening Post Norman Rockwell 2016 Calendar for January.
The Pharmacist appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post March 18, 1939. Judging from the face and mustache, I'd say he is the same model Rockwell used for Dreams of Long Ago, James Van Brunt, one pf his favorite models.
"For Better or Worse? The hometown pharmacist was once the go-to guy for what ails you. But while the apothecary carefully concocts a healing elixir, the boy with the bad cold has one question on his mind: What will it taste like?
"A storyteller with a brush, Norman Rockwell had a knack for the direct hit, creating images that instantly connected with viewers."
