Adelle Rose

Adelle Rose is a 2004 R.C. Gorman lithograph radiating warmth and quiet femininity. A seated Native woman is wrapped in a vivid rose-red blanket, a saffron-yellow wrap peeking through, and adorned with layered turquoise heishi necklaces that are a signature of Gorman’s portraits. Beside her, a thistle plant blooms with vibrant pink flowers and serrated green leaves, set against a luminous pastel sky that fades from blush pink to soft lavender. Produced in a 100-piece edition (approx. 28.5 x 22.5 in.), this later-career lithograph embodies the tender color sense and gentle monumentality collectors associate with Gorman, and is an excellent fit for collectors of Navajo art, Native American women portraits, and contemporary Southwest fine art.
