"Mistipee Son of Yoholo Micco" is a notable portrait by the American artist Charles Bird King, renowned for his depictions of Native American leaders and dignitaries during the early 19th century. Painted in 1827, this work is part of a larger collection commissioned by Thomas L. McKenney, who was the head of the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs at the time. The portrait is one of many that were intended to document and preserve the likenesses of Native American leaders who visited Washington, D.C., as part of diplomatic missions.

Charles Bird King was a prominent portrait artist who studied under the famous American painter Benjamin West in London. Upon returning to the United States, King established himself in Washington, D.C., where he became well-known for his skill in capturing the character and dignity of his subjects. His works are particularly valued for their historical significance and their role in providing a visual record of Native American leaders during a period of significant change and upheaval for their communities.

"Mistipee Son of Yoholo Micco" portrays Mistipee, a member of the Creek Nation, with a sense of solemnity and respect. The portrait is characterized by King's meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of Mistipee's traditional attire and the dignified expression on his face. This painting, like many others by King, serves as an important cultural artifact, offering insights into the appearance, dress, and demeanor of Native American leaders of the time.

The portrait was originally part of the Indian Gallery, a collection of over 140 portraits that McKenney commissioned to create a visual archive of Native American leaders. Unfortunately, many of the original paintings were destroyed in a fire at the Smithsonian Institution in 1865. However, lithographs and copies of King's works, including "Mistipee Son of Yoholo Micco," have survived and continue to be studied and appreciated for their artistic and historical value.
