"Po-Tse-Water Eagle" is a 1914 oil painting by American artist Robert Henri (1865-1929). The painting depicts a Native American man, likely from the Plains tribes, with his arms crossed, seated with a bold gaze. Henri was known for his realist portraits of Native American subjects, emphasizing their humanity and individuality. This piece, with its thick brushstrokes and vibrant colors, reflects his style and the Ashcan School of American realism that he championed. The strong composition and piercing look of the subject create a powerful image, showcasing Henri's skill in capturing personality and presence.
