Which 1935 Georgia O'Keeffe painting features a ram's skull above a white hollyhock?

Ram's Head, White Hollyhock-Hills is the 1935 Georgia O'Keeffe painting featuring a ram's skull and white hollyhock.

The work combines a ram's skull, a white hollyhock, and a distant New Mexico landscape. O'Keeffe painted it during the period when bones and desert forms became central subjects in her art. The juxtaposition brings an apparently delicate flower into contact with an object associated with the dry, rugged terrain.

O'Keeffe collected animal bones in New Mexico and carried them back to her studio as motifs. She did not treat them merely as symbols with one fixed meaning; their contours, openings, and weathered surfaces also offered strong abstract shapes.

The title is important because several O'Keeffe paintings include skulls, flowers, or hills. Cow's Skull: Red, White, and Blue is a different work from 1931. The wording “ram's head” identifies the animal in this composition and distinguishes it from her cow-skull paintings.
