Navajo Velvet is a luminous 2004 lithograph by R.C. Gorman depicting a seated Navajo woman in a moment of serene contemplation beneath a starry night sky. She is draped in sumptuous crimson fabric that flows across her lap and pools on the dark ground, while a traditional Navajo concho belt with silver circular discs cinches her waist. Her dark hair is bound with white ties, and turquoise jewelry adorns her ears. The composition balances the figure against a deep indigo sky alive with white stars, creating a sense of quiet majesty and introspection. This lithograph exemplifies Gorman’s gift for capturing vulnerability and strength in a single gesture, making it essential for collectors of Gorman lithographs, fine art printmaking, and Southwest masterworks.
