Cigar Store Indian

Sydney Roberts

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture shows a standing figure of a Native American man in traditional attire. He is dressed in a blue knee-length garment and matching leggings, with a headdress adorned with feathers. The man holds a tool in one hand and the other rests against his chest. The color palette includes blue for the clothing, darker shades for the leggings and shoes, and flesh tones for the skin. The sculpture appears to be made of wood and is placed on a square wooden platform with small wheels.
