Annette is a 1990 R.C. Gorman oil pastel of a dark-haired Native woman lying back with her arms folded above her head in a relaxed, reclining pose. She wears a rose-violet top of softly shaded colored pencil strokes, and her full white skirt blooms across the lower half of the sheet like a wave, all set against a blushing pink ground. The work’s tender intimacy, dreamy palette, and confident contour drawing showcase Gorman at the height of his pastel-era powers. As a one-of-a-kind original oil pastel, Annette is a collector-grade piece for lovers of R.C. Gorman originals, reclining-figure studies, and pastel-period Native American fine art.
