Gallup Ceremonial Woman is a 1979 R.C. Gorman stone lithograph portraying a woman standing tall in a warmly draped red-orange dress, her posture carrying the dignity the title suggests. The figure is set against a soft, unbroken cream ground that lets the draped fabric and the artist’s contour line carry the entire composition — the approach that made Gorman’s late-1970s portraiture so collectible.
From an edition of 150, this lithograph is a strong example of Gorman’s ceremonial portraits and a natural fit for collections focused on Native American women in art, Gallup and Navajo Nation subjects, and classic Southwest fine prints.
