''American Gothic''. [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant No]], not [[Series/AmericanGothic1995 the show]], the 1930 Grant Wood painting with the dour, Alan Greenspan-esque man with a pitchfork and his equally dour daughter (who's often [[RelativeError mistakenly assumed to be his wife]]). It is actually a portrait of Grant Wood's sister and his dentist. Incidentally, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Gothic_House house in the painting still stands today.]]
