Artwork Description:
“Navajo Spirit House” Original Color Etching Aquatint intaglio print by Roy Purcell is a striking artist’s proof, beautifully presented in a gilt gold wooden custom frame. The overall framed dimensions are 21 3/4 inches high by 17 3/4 inches wide, with a 1-inch depth. The image itself measures 10 inches in height by 13 1/2 inches in width.

This evocative etching piece depicts a stylized Navajo spirit house, possibly a ceremonial dwelling or hogan, bathed in warm, earthy hues of radiant orange, amber, and deep brown. Set against a luminous backdrop that suggests either sunrise or sunset, the central structure is illuminated by a glowing celestial body—sun or moon—creating an atmosphere rich with symbolism and reverence. The textured detail and rich color palette highlight Purcell’s mastery in conveying spiritual depth through Southwest imagery. The ornate gold frame complements the tonal richness of the work, making it both a meaningful cultural tribute and a visually compelling display piece. The etching and gilt gold frame do show signs of age; age spots and scratches minor imperfections
