Looking for one certain illustration

Looking for one certain illustration, which I first saw some 12 or 14 years ago in the context of a discussion on a low brass forum.

The foreground person is a tall and hefty sousaphone player. The background person is a small and skinny trombone player. Both are wearing red uniform jackets and are marching from left to right at a speed apparently not too comfortable for the sousaphone player.

This is not a photography, but the sort of hypernaturalistic artwork often seen in older popular magazines directed towards the family market.

David Richoux found it:

Very nice! Is that Norman Rockwell's work?

I have no first hand information myself, but try right-clicking the picture. The link may contain a name for you to work from.

Took a look again at the page linked to right above here, which has a higher resolution, at least on my iPad.

Very rich in details. So what brand and model is it?

The wrap doesn't look American to me, rather French or Czech. The bottom bow ferrule might indicate it being a Courtois.
