Julia Renae St I

Julia Renae St I, 1976 original by R.C. Gorman, portrays a seated woman viewed from behind, her head tilted slightly backward in a gesture of quiet repose or contemplation. She wears a delicate pale pink garment that creates a soft silhouette against the neutral cream background. Her hair is dark and simply styled, her bare shoulders and back conveying both vulnerability and composure. The minimal setting allows the viewer’s focus to rest entirely on the elegance of her form and pose. Gorman’s restrained palette and refined line work create an atmosphere of intimacy and grace. This First State captures the essence of his figurative practice—the celebration of the female form as a vehicle for expressing emotional states of peace and introspection. Perfect for collectors of early Gorman works, seated figure studies, and gallery-quality prints exploring repose and dignity.
