"Shar I Tar Ish" is a notable painting by the American artist Charles Bird King, renowned for his portraits of Native American leaders and dignitaries during the early 19th century. King, who was born in 1785 and passed away in 1862, was a pivotal figure in American art, particularly known for his detailed and respectful representations of Native American subjects. His works are significant not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical value, capturing the likenesses and cultural attire of individuals from various tribes during a period of significant change and upheaval in their societies.

The painting "Shar I Tar Ish" exemplifies King's meticulous approach to portraiture, characterized by his keen attention to detail and his ability to convey the dignity and individuality of his subjects. The title "Shar I Tar Ish" refers to the name of the individual depicted, though specific historical details about this person may be limited. King's portraits often served as important records of Native American leaders who traveled to Washington, D.C., to negotiate treaties and engage in diplomacy with the United States government.

King's work, including "Shar I Tar Ish," is part of a broader collection of portraits commissioned by Thomas L. McKenney, the head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, who sought to document the prominent Native American figures of the time. These portraits were later reproduced as lithographs in the publication "History of the Indian Tribes of North America," co-authored by McKenney and James Hall, which has become a crucial resource for historians and scholars studying Native American history and culture.

"Shar I Tar Ish" is housed in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, where it continues to be an important piece for both its artistic qualities and its role in preserving the visual history of Native American leaders. Through King's work, viewers gain insight into the rich cultural heritage and the complex histories of the Native American tribes during a transformative period in American history.
