• J.C. Leyendecker was the most highly paid and influential illustrator in America during the early 20th century. His work for the Cluett Peabody & Co. (Arrow Shirts and Collars) campaign was revolutionary, creating a flawless, aspirational masculine ideal that dominated fashion.

• The Arrow Collar Man: The figure is rendered with Leyendecker's signature style: chiseled features, impeccably tailored clothes, and an air of detached confidence. He personified the success, sophistication, and clean-cut modernity of the Jazz Age. The specific collar style (high, crisp, and detachable) is the central focus, expertly framed by the figure's pose and expression.

• The Leyendecker Brushwork: The artwork is instantly recognizable for the bold, rhythmic brushstrokes and the use of dramatic, raking light and sharp shadows that give the figure a sculptural, almost heroic quality. This technique was highly influential, impacting later artists like Norman Rockwell (who studied under Leyendecker).
