Jeanette

Jeanette, 1982 lithograph by R.C. Gorman, captures a woman in profile gazing upward in a moment of aspiration or spiritual elevation. Her face is serene and refined, her long dark hair arranged in a traditional bun secured with a white cloth or wrapping. She wears a garment rendered in warm stripes of coral, orange, and yellow, bringing vibrant energy to her form against a soft lavender background. Turquoise-colored earrings dangle at her ears, adding a note of cool accent to the warm palette. The composition conveys nobility and quiet strength—her upward gaze suggesting hope, prayer, or visionary contemplation. Gorman’s sensitive handling of facial features and textile pattern demonstrates his mastery of lithographic nuance. A remarkable piece for collectors of Gorman portrait prints, works celebrating female dignity, and fine art lithographs exploring spiritual themes.
