Charles Bird King was born in 1785 in Newport, Rhode Island, and trained under the tutelage of Edward Savage and later Benjamin West in London. His return to the United States marked the beginning of a prolific career, during which he became one of the foremost portraitists of his time.

The painting not only serves as an artistic achievement but also as an important cultural document, offering insights into the appearance and regalia of Blackfoot leaders of the era.

The painting is part of the collection at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, where it continues to be an object of study and admiration.
