The artist is Stephané Heuet, who has to date rendered several fairly substantial volumes, the first given over to Swann's Way, and the others to Marcel's first summer at Balbec. The links below are to Amazon.com in the United States. There's also a Kindle edition of the first two volumes, but be very careful of Amazon's links, which too often lead to a rip-off of the public-domain translations of the 1920s.
