About the piece
Painted in 1868 by Thomas Hicks, this full-length portrait depicts the renowned Seneca orator and leader Sagoyewatha, known as Red Jacket. He is shown wearing a peace medal and a vibrant red sash, standing atop a rocky outcrop against a moody sky, embodying a powerful sense of historical gravity and character.
