Tuesday's auction of original illustration art at Swann Galleries included this 1938 gem from the New Yorker by Helen E. Hokinson. Here one of her club ladies explains why she can't fulfill her official responsibility at this meeting. The speaker is made to stand out by virtue of her being the standing figure closest to the foreground. She is also readily distinguished by the dark shades in her outfit, as distinct from most of the other club members.
