A drawing of former President Donald Trump scowling in court this week will be the first courtroom sketch to grace the cover of The New Yorker.
The storied Condé Nast magazine confirmed the sketch by Jane Rosenberg would be the April 17 cover story — two weeks after Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony charges in Manhattan Supreme Court.
“Though we often ask artists to reflect on the events of the day for the weekly cover, the magazine has not, until now, turned to a courtroom sketch artist,” art director François Mouly wrote of the decision Wednesday.
Rosenberg, who is also a noted plein air painter, was one of three sketch artists allowed in the 15th-floor courtroom, where TV cameras were banned.
