Onawa, 1981, R.C. Gorman etching, depicts a seated Navajo woman wrapped in a pristine white blanket, her face serene and introspective as she gazes downward. Wearing a soft slate-grey shirt, her dark hair adorned with a delicate white feather, the figure embodies quiet contemplation. Gorman’s precise etching technique renders the fabric’s subtle folds and the tender modeling of her facial features against the warm cream background. This intimate portrait captures the dignity and gentle strength of Navajo womanhood, a defining subject in Gorman’s celebrated career. A must-have acquisition for collectors of Gorman etchings, Southwest figurative art, and Native American prints.
