Lady Chatterly St II

Lady Chatterly St II, 1978, by R.C. Gorman is a State II variation of the artist’s sensual figure exploration, executed in refined oil pastel technique with warm sepia and brown tones. The composition mirrors the State I drawing with a standing female figure rendered in profile, her form emphasized through subtle shading and expressive line work. The State II designation indicates refinement and variation from the initial state, reflecting Gorman’s artistic process and commitment to exploring the subtleties of human form and emotion. The work captures both classical figure-drawing tradition and contemporary artistic sensibility. A compelling acquisition for collectors of erotic art, figure studies, and evidence of Gorman’s multi-state printmaking and drawing practices.
