Koshari—or Indian Fun-maker, Santa Domingo, New Mexico

Eugene Higgins's etching depicts a figure in dynamic motion, body twisted and arms extended outward, holding what appears to be corn stalks or vegetation. The composition captures movement through exaggerated posture and bold line work characteristic of early twentieth-century printmaking. Higgins (1874–1958) was an American artist known for his engagement with social subjects and regional American themes. This work documents a Keres Pueblo ceremonial figure, the Koshari or clown figure of Pueblo ritual performance, rendered through Higgins's interpretive graphic technique. The subject reflects contemporary artistic interest in indigenous American cultural practices and performance traditions.
