About the piece
Painted in 1828 by Charles Bird King, this portrait depicts the celebrated Seneca orator and chief Sagoyewatha, known as Red Jacket. He is shown in a formal European-style dark coat and red cravat, prominently wearing the large silver peace medal presented to him by George Washington in 1792.
