Mary Ferre, 1974. An oil pastel work by R.C. Gorman presenting a Navajo woman viewed from behind, wrapped in an elegant shawl or blanket rendered in warm apricot, orange, and pinkish tones. The three-quarter pose and draped composition emphasize the grace of her shoulders and the fluidity of the fabric. Fine linear marks in the background suggest architectural or environmental context. Gorman’s masterful use of warm tones and the sensitive handling of the female form create a work of quiet nobility. A must-have acquisition for collectors of Gorman oil pastels, Southwest fine art, and Native American figurative prints.
