Eugene Croe

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a figure resembling a Native American woman adorned with a headdress featuring feathers. The sculpture is dressed in a red garment with yellow bands and a blue sash draped over one shoulder, accented with a colorful necklace. The material of the sculpture suggests a painted finish with various shades used to define features and attire. The figure stands on a base inscribed with the words "SPORTING GOODS" and "TOBACCO & CIGARS". The signature "Eugene Crow" is visible near the bottom corner.
