This original pastel drawing by R.C. Gorman was executed in 1985, a period recognized as possibly his best. It illustrates his ability to exhibit the full extent of his intended image through a minimum of lines. The full body of the female is so elegantly displayed in one simple line drawing, with the face and hair filled in with more detail.

In his portrayals of women, Gorman had no peers. His drawings are as individualistic as the models he used. The body of his work was directed toward the Navajo Indian women of his culture.
