Cigar Store Indian c. 1938

"Cigar Store Indian" is a watercolor painting created by Jane Iverson in 1938. Iverson, born in 1910 and known for her skill in capturing detail, depicts a standing figure, likely representing a Native American, dressed in traditional attire, wearing a headdress with feathers and a fur-like garment. The figure holds a club in one hand and stands on a small platform, suggesting a possible connection to the popular "Cigar Store Indian" figures, commonly used as advertising signs outside shops in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
