"Hopi Indian, Polacca, Arizona" is a 1920 drawing by American artist Mahonri Mackintosh Young. Depicting a Hopi man from Polacca, Arizona, Young captured the sitter's likeness through a meticulous use of red chalk on paper. This portrait exemplifies Young's interest in portraying Native American subjects with authenticity and sensitivity, reflecting his travels and artistic pursuits in the American West. The drawing is a poignant example of the artist's work in the realm of portraiture and ethnographic art.
