"Red Jacket, Seneca War Chief" is a distinguished portrait painted by the American artist Charles Bird King in 1828. The painting depicts the prominent Seneca leader, Red Jacket, also known by his Seneca name Sagoyewatha, who was a key figure in the history of Native American and United States relations during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Red Jacket was renowned for his oratory skills and his staunch defense of Native American rights and culture, particularly in the face of increasing pressure from European-American settlers.

Charles Bird King, an accomplished portrait artist of the 19th century, was known for his detailed and respectful representations of Native American leaders. His works were often commissioned by the United States government and other institutions to document the appearances and attire of Native American dignitaries who visited Washington, D.C. King’s portraits are notable for their meticulous attention to detail and their ability to capture the dignity and individuality of their subjects.

In "Red Jacket, Seneca War Chief," King portrays Red Jacket wearing traditional Seneca attire, including a distinctive headdress and a peace medal, which was a symbol of his status and his interactions with American officials. The painting is celebrated for its vivid depiction of Red Jacket’s strong features and the intensity of his gaze, which convey his resolute character and the depth of his leadership.

The portrait is part of the collection at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, where it continues to be an important piece for understanding the cultural and historical context of the period. King’s work not only serves as an artistic achievement but also as a historical document that provides insight into the complex relationships between Native American tribes and the United States government during a transformative era in American history.
