Appaloosa Horses Art Appraisal

Framed Print: Native American Figures on Appaloosa Horses

This item is a framed art print depicting two Native American figures, one male and one female, riding on spotted Appaloosa horses. The figures are dressed in flowing red garments, possibly blankets or cloaks, and the male figure appears to have feathers in his hair. Both figures are shown in profile, facing left, with a sense of movement as if they are riding across the plains. The horses are distinctly rendered with light coats and dark, irregular spots (piebald or leopard complex patterns), suggesting the Appaloosa breed. The female rider, positioned further back, has a detailed, circular shield or decorative element visible on her and the horse's back. The male rider also has a similar, though less distinct, design. The background of the print is a plain, light color, emphasizing the figures and horses. The print is housed within a gray frame with a green outer edge. The signature 'R. C. Gorman' (though difficult to discern clearly, it resembles his style) and a small, abstract floral or feather-like mark are visible in the lower right corner, suggesting the artist and perhaps a print number or emblem. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of damage such to print itself. There may be some glare from lighting on the protective glass, but this does not appear to be damage to the artwork. The framing seems simple yet sturdy, likely of a standard contemporary style. The piece evokes a sense of historical narrative or cultural representation, characteristic of Southwest or Western art.
