Woman with Manta

Woman with Manta, 1977. A serene Navajo woman sits in profile, viewed from behind, draped in a traditional cream and rust-red woven manta with geometric patterns. Her dark hair is pulled back in a simple style, and her pose conveys quiet dignity and contemplation. The palette of warm earth tones and pale skin against the cream background showcases Gorman’s mastery of color blocking and subtle shading. This 1977 lithograph exemplifies Gorman’s signature style celebrating Navajo women and traditional textiles. A must-have for collectors of Native American fine art, Gorman lithographs, and Southwest cultural imagery.
