Women from Tohatchi. Two Navajo women stand close together in a spare, contemplative composition rendered in warm oil pastel tones. One wears a deep red dress, the other a cobalt blue garment, their figures defined by simple contours against a warm peachy-tan background. The minimal treatment and intimate scale suggest a quiet moment of connection and shared experience. The artist’s restrained palette and linework create an almost meditative quality, drawing focus to the emotional presence rather than decorative detail. This oil pastel exemplifies Gorman’s later minimalist approach. Essential for collectors of Gorman oil pastels and intimate figurative art.
