Anasazi Woman is a 1985 R.C. Gorman oil pastel of a seated Native woman in flowing ivory robes, hands folded quietly in her lap and head lowered in meditation. Her form is built from soft, rounded contours and warm sienna outlines on a glowing apricot-and-gold ground, giving the figure an almost carved, timeless presence. The palette of cream, peach, and burnt orange echoes Southwest desert light, while the downward gaze and clasped hands create a mood of deep stillness connected to Ancestral Puebloan reverence. As a one-of-a-kind original oil pastel, Anasazi Woman is an exceptional work for collectors of R.C. Gorman originals, Ancestral Pueblo themes, and serene Native American fine art.
