Woman Combing Hair St II

Woman Combing Hair State II (1970) is a state variation of Gorman’s iconic composition, depicting a seated figure wrapped in luminous white drapery, arms raised in the graceful act of combing her long dark hair. This State II iteration may feature refined line work, subtle color adjustments, or modified contours from the State I version, preserving the essential classical composition while incorporating the artist’s refinements. The work exemplifies Gorman’s iterative approach to lithographic editions, allowing collectors to appreciate both the archetypal image and the subtle evolution of his technique across states. The sepia and cream palette reinforces the timeless quality of the figure study. Highly valued by collectors of complete state sets, Gorman graphics, and classical figurative works exploring feminine grace and domestic intimacy.
