Our expert's notes

Hand-drawn artwork depicting the Wheel of Pain from John Milius’ action adventure Conan the Barbarian. Sold into slavery as a boy after his father was murdered, Conan (Arnold Schwarzenegger) was forced to work at The Wheel of Pain mill.

Rendered by production designer Ron Cobb, the illustration is titled “THE WHEEL OF PAIN” and was published in a special April 1982 double issue of Cinefantastique and the July 1982 issue of Muscle Fitness as part of the film’s promotional campaign. Drawn with pastels and pen on illustration paper, the artwork shows children pushing a giant wheel around a large pillar as slave owners stand guard over them.

The artwork has “CONAN” and “THE WHEEL OF PAIN” written at the bottom corners in black ink. The piece includes an original mat-board frame and foamcore backing which shows wear due to use and age. However, the artwork remains in very fine condition. Dimensions (artwork): 74 cm x 33 cm x 1 cm (29” x 13” x ¼”); (mat frame): 90 cm x 48 cm x 1 cm (35 ½” x 19” x ¼”)
