A Sioux Warrior is painted in warm colors and incredible detail. Dramatic lighting ages the figure, accentuating fine lines and contouring worn features. Red tints the hair, colors the clothing, and appears printed upon accessories. While the lower portion of the canvas appears unfinished, the open space allows for the meticulous details of the Sioux Warrior to grab the viewer’s attention.
