Hello, this item is an original mixed media or colored pencil drawing by Karen Wheeler, an American artist known for her surrealist and psychologically charged imagery. The composition shows two figures intertwined within a domestic setting, rendered with Wheeler’s characteristic blend of distortion and emotional intimacy. The visible signature at the lower edge confirms authorship. The wheel and sofa motifs add symbolic depth, exploring confinement and relationship tension, themes often present in Wheeler’s mid-to-late 20th-century works.
The work measures approximately 9 x 7 inches, unframed, and is in good condition. Similar works on paper by Karen Wheeler, depending on period and subject, typically sell for 200 to 400 USD at auction, sometimes higher for more complex or dated pieces. The intimate scale and clear signature place this example toward the mid-range, around 300 USD, reflecting both its collectible nature and modest market liquidity for the artist outside specialized surrealist or feminist art contexts.
