"Walking through the city one early morning, looking for paintings, I was attracted to the mysterious interior light of a store. It was quiet and I was alone. I set a timer on my phone and took a photo of myself as the figure."
"For the cover of the November 24, 2025, issue, the artist Kenton Nelson painted a man waiting by a store window."
"For more covers about shopping, see below: Find covers, cartoons, and more at the Condé Nast Store."
Kenton Nelson painted a man waiting by a store window for the November 24, 2025 cover. Walking early through the city searching for paintings, he was drawn to the mysterious interior light of a store. The scene was quiet and solitary, leading him to set a timer on his phone and photograph himself to serve as the figure in the painting. The resulting cover captures the interplay of interior glow and urban stillness. Additional shopping-themed covers, cartoons, and related items are available at the Condé Nast Store.
