The Death of Diana is a 1997 by Nick Newman, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A man stands on a ladder, peering through a camera at a gated fence. The fence has wavy metal bars with "666" stamped on them. Raindrops fall in jagged lines from the top of the frame. This drawing was made the year after a famous car crash in Paris. The fence looks like a barrier, but the camera suggests someone is watching closely. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this sketch in person.
A photographer on a stepladder leans over a gate to take a photograph, with the title "The Death of Diana 1997" inscribed below the drawing.
