In the December 4 Illustration Art sale, Swann Auction Galleries offered a charming drawing by Maurice Sendak that was there called Chicken Soup—for one very obvious reason. It is clearly inspired by his book Chicken Soup With Rice: A Book of Months from 1962, a part of The Nutshell Library. The drawing is inscribed by Sendak to Lynn Caponera, who was Sendak's longtime housekeeper and caretaker, and is now the Executive Director of the Maurice Sendak Foundation. Swann gives its date as circa 1962.
