Delfina

Delfina, a 1997 R.C. Gorman lithograph, portrays a Navajo woman kneeling gracefully on the ground with one bare foot extended, wrapped in a brilliant striped shawl of magenta, coral red, fuchsia, and apricot that cascades across her shoulders and arm. Beneath the shawl, a soft lavender white skirt drapes over her legs and pools onto the peach cream ground. Her jet black hair is tied in a low ponytail with a white ribbon and a turquoise drop earring catches the light at her ear. The background glows with a warm pink to coral sunset gradient behind her head. Signed and numbered, Delfina is a refined acquisition for collectors of Gorman shawl compositions, Southwest lithographs, and Native American figurative fine art.
