R.C. Gorman Framed Native American Portrait Print

This item is a framed print or lithograph by the renowned Navajo artist Rudolph Carl Gorman (R.C. Gorman). The artwork depicts a profile view of a Native American woman, a recurring and iconic motif in Gorman's body of work. The subject is rendered with soft, fluid lines and a subtle color palette featuring muted earth tones and a prominent turquoise-colored earring that provides a focal point. The figure has dark hair styled in traditional buns, with loose wisps that demonstrate the artist's signature lyrical line work. The piece is signed 'R.C. Gorman' in the lower-left quadrant in his characteristic script. It is mounted on a cream-colored paper backing and set within a wide, dark espresso-colored or black wooden frame. The artwork appears to be a smaller-scale print, likely a decorative open-edition lithographic reproduction common in the late 20th century (circa 1980s-1990s). The condition of the frame shows some minor surface dust and light handling marks, while the print itself appears well-preserved under glass without visible foxing or fading, though the paper has a natural off-white tone. The minimalist style and focus on female strength and grace are representative of the 'Picasso of American Indian Artists.'
