Hello, this item is an original work by American artist Karen Wheeler, rendered in colored pencil or watercolor on paper. The subject depicts a semi-nude female figure with a hat, emerging from a rose bloom, a motif consistent with Wheeler’s recurring themes of femininity, transformation, and introspection. The piece is carefully composed, with smooth gradients and detailed shading typical of her mid-to-late 20th-century style. The visible signature on the lower right confirms its authenticity.

The work measures approximately 9.5 x 8 inches, unframed, and appears to be in excellent condition. Comparable figurative works by Wheeler, especially those featuring surreal floral symbolism, have sold in the 250 to 400 USD range in the U.S. secondary market.
