Woman with Tied Hair

Woman with Tied Hair, 1977. This spare and intimate etching captures a kneeling Navajo woman from behind, her distinctive tied and bundled hair shown with precise linework characteristic of Gorman’s etching technique. She is wrapped in pale cream textiles, her form defined by delicate incised lines that convey both volume and vulnerability. The minimal palette and composition create a meditative, almost whispered quality that speaks to introspection and traditional beauty. The artist’s restrained hand reveals his complete command of the medium. A refined acquisition for collectors of Gorman etchings, fine art prints, and Native American portraiture.
