Woman with Pears, 1987. A Navajo woman gazes downward with serene composure, holding a wooden bowl filled with golden pears. She wears a soft lavender-purple shirt, her dark hair styled in two small buns in the traditional manner. The pale textured background provides a warm canvas for her contemplative pose and the warm golden tones of the fruit. Created in oil pastel, this work demonstrates Gorman’s remarkable facility with the medium, blending soft color transitions with precise figure rendering. The imagery evokes themes of nourishment, tradition, and quiet dignity. Perfect for collectors of Gorman oil pastels, Native American figurative art, and Southwest fine art.
