Original art by Joseph Mirachi for a 1954 New Yorker cartoon requires no caption. It was offered for sale on eBay in 2017 where it received only one bid. It originally came from the estate of Christian Buchheit, who had served for half a century as building superintendent at the Art Students League in New York.
Note: As you may know by now, I like to post original art by New Yorker artists including Joseph Mirachi. Images of such are sought after for future posts here on the blog.

Back in the day, Christian Buchheit received a great sendoff from the Art Students League at which he received works from a number of artists. Another of these pieces, by the irreverent Otto Soglow, may be found in the archives here.
