Lady with Pears

Lady with Pears, 1977, by R.C. Gorman is an intimate etching rendered in warm sepia and brown tones characteristic of the medium. The composition features a woman holding pears or round fruits, her figure enveloped in white and cream-colored garments surrounded by delicate botanical and decorative elements.
