Few cartoonists have taken more delight in depicting musicians than Jean-Jacques Sempé (1932-2022). His untitled 1981 drawing of a violinist walking home was sold at auction yesterday in Berlin.
The sophisticated man is sensibly dressed for winter. Only his hair is unkempt. He carries a bag of groceries and a violin case. He's got everything he needs to sustain himself, body and soul.
