In the second half of the 1940s jazz musician Larry Rivers retrained to become a visual artist. He painted objects from everyday life because he found them interesting, not as a commentary on society. From the early 1960s a recurring motif is the American statesman Daniel Webster (1782-1852), as depicted on the cigar boxes of the Webster Cigar Company. In 1966 Rivers made a multiple (edition of 20) in the form of a box containing fake cigars.
