Finished editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. One closed padlock placed low and slightly right of center: a comically squat, broad coral body beneath an absurdly tall, slightly crooked cream shackle. A small dark keyhole is the only interior detail. Three-quarter view, unmistakable silhouette at thumbnail size. Impasto-inspired painting made from a few broad, visibly thick paint swaths, combined with expressive hand-drawn marker outlines; uneven edges, simple colour masses, no intricate surface detail. Strong chiaroscuro: warm light catches the left edges while the right side falls into deep plum shadow against a matte ink-blue background. A short painted grounding shadow, no other objects. Leave generous empty space at upper left. Playful proportions, reassuring stillness, restrained palette. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
