Original illustration of a young Black man raising his fist in a timeless and insistent gesture of power and belief. Finely executed in mixed media, including tempera, watercolor, conté crayon, pen, and ink over graphite on board. All are dated 1971, with "AMR" as copyright, while two are further signed "Holden." "AMR" refers to Applied Management Research, who commissioned the illustration, perhaps for marketing purposes. At the verso is the title "Symbolic Gestures." Chips to edges of boards, and corners somewhat rubbed. Near fine. (15 by 18 in.)
