Lee Lorenz (1932-2022) was the art editor of The New Yorker from 1973 to 1993 and then the cartoon editor through 1997. Outside of working hours, he played cornet with his group, the Creole Cookin' Jazz Band. At some point, cartoonist Saul Steinberg honored his editor's musicianship with a small drawing of a cornet player. The Lorenz estate sold the drawing at auction on May 7.

The sketch made for Lorenz recalls Steinberg's earlier drawings of musicians and their instruments published in The New Yorker of February 12, 1955.
