This work depicts a seated Navajo woman in a white blouse, her gaze directed away from the viewer while her hands rest upon a traditionally decorated pottery vessel. The composition utilizes the artist's signature lyrical, fluid lines and a muted earth-toned palette that emphasizes form and gesture. R.C. Gorman, often referred to as the "Picasso of American Indian Art," focused primarily on the strength and grace of Navajo women, drawing inspiration from the women in his own life.
