Lady with Green Shawl

Lady with Green Shawl, 1974, by R.C. Gorman presents a woman in profile, her face serene and downward-gazing, wrapped in a white blanket with a soft sage-green shawl draped across her shoulders. She clutches a decorated pottery vessel painted with traditional geometric patterns and warm red accents, suggesting both domestic and ceremonial significance. The background is rendered in cool green tones that complement the subject’s clothing and create visual harmony. Gorman’s mixed-media technique combining ink, colored pencil, and pastel creates depth and texture. A treasured work for collectors of pottery imagery, cultural portraiture, and Gorman’s sophisticated approach to color and form.
