Woman with Pink Shawl

Woman with Pink Shawl, 1977. In this delicate etching, a Navajo woman kneels gracefully, enveloped in creamy white traditional wrappings with gold-outlined geometric patterns and a pink shawl layered over her shoulders. The sparse linework characteristic of Gorman’s etching technique captures her refined profile and contemplative bearing. The minimal palette of cream, gold accents, and warm brown tones creates an intimate, almost whispered quality. This early work exemplifies Gorman’s mastery of traditional printmaking techniques combined with his sensitive portrayal of Navajo women. A sought-after piece for collectors of fine art etchings, Gorman originals, and Native American figurative prints.
