4 colour lithograph and screen print on Somerset Tub Sized Satin Radiant White 410gsm. Hand-signed by artist, Signed, numbered and dated by the artist.

A blonde-haired figure with red bow and short red dress stretches her arms playfully under a hand-lettered DEPARTMENT STORE NY heading; blue paper scraps tumble, a treble clef and falling notes stride across the foot of the sheet, the bright yellow words SINGING IN THE RAIN running below. Four-colour lithograph and screenprint on Somerset Tub Sized Satin Radiant White 410gsm, signed, numbered and dated. Wylie's child-like immediacy hides a painter of fierce intelligence — this print distils her energy at miniature scale, an essential collectable.

Rose Wylie (UK, 1934) is a celebrated British painter known for her bold, large-scale canvases that feature playful, cartoon-like imagery. Her work often draws inspiration from pop culture, daily life, and art history, with a distinctive, childlike aesthetic that challenges traditional notions of composition and technique.

Imperfections give energy to a painting—it shouldn’t be too tidy.
- Rose Wylie

Renowned for her vibrant, often child-like imagery, Rose Wylie is a painter whose works are often large-scale and created on unstretched, unprimed canvas; depicting various subjects ranging from cultural iconography to hybrid forms, Wylie has acknowledged that the primitive nature of her art can be difficult for some people to comprehend ‘but then they find that actually there’s stuff in it relating to Dürer and Cézanne’. Among the works that best capture her signature style are Queen of Sheba with Gold Lump and Black Stork, both of which also feature her trademark illegible scrawling, further emphasising the absurdity and wry humour of the final image presented.
