Description:

An acrylic on canvas catalogued to Yoshitomo Nara, depicting a small green-haired girl centered against a pale cream ground. The figure's lowered expression, simplified body, and large eyes create a restrained image with strong graphic clarity.

Historical significance:

Nara's solitary child figures are among the most recognizable images in contemporary Japanese art. The spare composition and concentrated expression make the work immediately legible while preserving the ambiguity typical of his figures.

Valuation:

Nara acrylic portraits are supported by iconic simplicity, concentrated expression, and the strength of the figure against open ground. This green-haired girl is valued for the centered placement, pale cream field, lowered expression, large eyes, and the quiet graphic tension of the image.
