Searle, Ronald (Cambridge 1920 - 2011 Draguignan). Happy Ending. Watercolor and pen drawing. 1974. Signed, dated '19 December 1974', titled, and additionally inscribed 'Maquette Couleur'. 65 x 50 cm. The British illustrator and cartoonist Ronald Searle knew how to combine his dark humor with endearing charm; he was once called a 'Jonathan Swift of the pen'. Searle appreciated cats and champagne and abhorred war and power politics. He worked for magazines such as Punch, The New Yorker, The New York Times, Le Monde, and Der Spiegel. The drawing resembles an illustration from Ronald Searle's Big Fat Cat Book, London, 1982. Slightly light-stained.]
