Dibe Yazzie (Little Sheep)

Dibe Yazzie, or Little Sheep (1999), is a whimsical and touching R.C. Gorman lithograph depicting a woman in an emerald green dress wrapped in a striking saffron and golden blanket, cradling a white lamb. Red rock formations rise majestically in the distance beneath a soft peachy sky, grounding the scene in the Southwest landscape. The title references the young animal at the center of the composition, highlighting Gorman’s interest in the interconnection between human culture and livestock in Navajo life. The warm palette and tender subject matter create a work of great appeal to collectors seeking Gorman’s more figurative and narrative works.
