Indian Standing with Hand on Hip 1955

"Indian Standing with Hand on Hip" is a charcoal drawing by American artist Courtney Allen, created in 1955. The artwork portrays a man in a relaxed stance, his weight shifted to one leg, one hand resting casually on his hip. Allen's drawing style is characterized by strong lines and a focus on capturing the subject's form and presence. This life drawing, likely created as a study, demonstrates Allen's skill in rendering the human figure, using chiaroscuro and subtle shading to create a sense of volume and depth.
