What does this mean?

Hello, this item is an original drawing by American artist Karen Wheeler, executed in colored pencil or watercolor on paper. The surreal composition features a cowboy figure riding a seahorse-like creature emerging from a woman’s lips, merging human and animal forms in a dreamlike yet psychologically charged manner. The piece exemplifies Wheeler’s surrealist vocabulary, where erotic undertones, humor, and the subconscious intertwine with technical precision. The signature at the lower left confirms authorship, dating likely from the late 20th century.

The work measures approximately 10 x 6 inches and is in excellent condition. Wheeler’s surrealist works of this nature, combining figuration with symbolic tension, typically achieve 300 to 500 USD at auction or in private sales.
