A Benjamin Prins illustration of the marriage party of Mr. Eugene Allen Kincaid and Mrs. Jean-Ann Porter, for the cover art of The Saturday Evening Post June 9th, 1962 edition.
Gouache on artist board.
Signed "Prins" on the lower left.
A copy of the magazine is included in a bag attached to the verso, along with wedding invitations, and a card that reads: "The June 9th Cover : The ceremony has been consummated, and although the sun is shining, the reception appears to be wet. Artist Ben Prins has used the New Canaan, Connecticut, Country Club as the backdrop for this June wedding reception, but he borrowed most of the wedding party and guests from the wedding of Eugene Kincaid and the former Jean porter. Gene and Jean met at West Virginia Wesleyan College, were married at the brides home in Wilton, Connecticut, presently live in Savannah, Georgia. Now their party's over: The groom works for a bank and the bride is an assistant librarian."
