Seated Woman with Concho, 1975, Oil Pastel by R.C. Gorman. A woman is portrayed from behind, seated and wrapped in a soft white blanket or shawl. At her waist sits a dramatic concho belt adorned with three prominent circular medallions rendered in turquoise-toned colors, a signature element of Southwest ceremonial dress. The figure’s hair is dark and styled with traditional arrangement. The oil pastel medium lends a soft, velvety quality to the work, with warm earth tones in the background suggesting the high desert landscape. Gorman’s sensitive handling of the medium captures both the tactile warmth of textiles and the spiritual significance of adornment. A treasured example of his oil pastel work.
