Before it the girl leans in, eyes shut tight, a single blue tear on her cheek and sharp little teeth showing in a grimace, her brown fringe falling over her face. Quick strokes around the wall suggest it is trembling, or that she has just walked into it. The waxy, layered texture of coloured pencil is visible throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNara has returned again and again to the child confronted by something larger than herself, and Deadlock compresses that frustration into a single, funny and painful image. The sheet is presented behind a cream mat in a distressed white wood frame. The description does not state whether the work is hand-drawn or printed, and invites buyers to judge from the photographs; we present it on the same terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yoshitomo Nara\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deadlock, as lettered on the image\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not stated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coloured pencil on paper, as it appears; described as a drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not stated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e None visible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 x 28 cm (14.2 x 11.0 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distressed white wood frame with cream mat, 40 x 35 cm (15.7 x 13.8 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDocumentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e None stated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent; see below\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements are as described and taken by hand; please allow a gentle margin of about 1 cm (0.4 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribed as unused, having passed through one previous owner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe image appears clean and bright; the frame shows light wear to its painted finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eA (excellent, near unused)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented on the strength of the description and photographs only; the Desk makes no attribution, and the medium and authorship should be confirmed by your own adviser.
