"Monchousia (White Plume) Kansa 1822" is a notable portrait painted by the American artist Charles Bird King. Created in 1822, this artwork is part of a larger series of portraits commissioned by the United States government to document Native American leaders and dignitaries. The series was intended to serve both as a record of these influential figures and as a means to foster understanding and respect between Native American tribes and the expanding United States.

Charles Bird King, an accomplished portraitist of his time, was renowned for his ability to capture the likeness and spirit of his subjects. In "Monchousia (White Plume) Kansa 1822," King portrays Monchousia, also known as White Plume, who was a prominent leader of the Kansa (Kaw) tribe. The Kansa tribe, part of the larger Siouan-speaking peoples, inhabited the central plains of what is now the United States, particularly in present-day Kansas.

The portrait of Monchousia is distinguished by its meticulous attention to detail and the dignified presence of the subject. King’s use of light and shadow, as well as his skillful rendering of textures, brings a lifelike quality to the painting. Monchousia is depicted wearing traditional attire, which includes a feathered headdress and other regalia that signify his status and cultural heritage. The expression on his face is one of calm authority, reflecting his role as a leader and his significance within his community.

This portrait, along with others in the series, was originally housed in the United States Indian Bureau in Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, many of King’s original works were destroyed in a fire in 1865. However, lithographic reproductions and copies of these portraits have preserved their legacy. Today, "Monchousia (White Plume) Kansa 1822" remains an important cultural artifact, offering insights into the history and representation of Native American leaders during a pivotal era in American history.
