Certain Books of Westhampton is currently offering this preliminary sketch for a 1961 New Yorker cartoon by Frank Modell. The subject is Cleopatra, looking rather unreasonable, and the price is $150, which seems very reasonable to me.
Note: You can see more rough drawings by New Yorker artists on this blog here.
Cartoonist James Stevenson has just written a book about Frank Modell. Read all about it on Ink Spill here.
