Swarte Indian ink and watercolor were used for this original cover created for the Flemish weekly *Humo*, issue No. 2339, dated July 4, 1985. An internationally renowned illustrator, author, graphic designer, and architect, Joost Swarte is also famous for coining the term “Ligne Claire,” thereby defining the clean, legible graphic style created by Hergé. His illustrations draw inspiration from both the underground scene and European precision. He is a regular contributor to the covers of the prestigious magazine *The New Yorker*. Despite his prolific output, works by him available for sale are extremely rare. Composition on heavy paper. Signed. 34x26 cm
