Hello, this item is an original artwork by Karen Wheeler, executed in colored pencil or fine-tip ink on paper, titled “Eagle Head” or “Raptor Study.” The composition features a detailed side profile of an eagle, drawn with remarkable precision and anatomical accuracy. Wheeler’s control of tonal gradation and texture captures both the physical power and dignified stillness of the bird. Her technique, developed despite her physical disability, demonstrates exceptional patience and discipline, which adds significant artistic and emotional depth to her work.

The piece measures 8.25 x 9.75 inches and remains in excellent condition, recently unframed for evaluation. Wheeler’s naturalistic studies of animals are highly collectible, particularly among admirers of her inspirational story and technical mastery. Comparable wildlife portraits by her generally range between 300 and 500 USD in fair market value.
