Cigar Store Indian

Walter Hochstrasser

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is of a man with a confident posture, depicted in a dynamic stance with one arm raised. He wears a headdress with plume-like elements, a skirt-like garment with red, green, and gold hues, and decorative attire across his chest. The sculpture has a warm brown tone, resembling carved wood, and stands on a small circular base. It appears to be made of painted wood with a textured appearance and color variance. The viewer can observe the sculpture in full detail, appreciating its intricate detailing and expressive posture in a confined space.
