The R.C. Gorman Chinle Ruby Throated Hummingbird charcuterie board brings one of the artist’s gentlest encounters to the table. The woman stands in profile in a red long-sleeved top, a purple skirt, and a cream sash, her turquoise beaded necklace glinting as stylized greenery backs the warm ground behind her and one hand reaches out — where a green hummingbird with a red throat hovers just beyond her fingertips. The artist’s red signature marks the scene.
It is a serving piece that seems to slow the gathering down: the quiet moment of meeting becomes table art for cheese boards, appetizers, or desserts. As with the rest of the gallery’s gift merchandise, it reproduces Gorman’s imagery on a functional object rather than serving as an original artwork.
Complete the hummingbird gift set with the matching Chinle ornament, tote, and tumbler, or give the board to birders and fans of Southwestern art.
