"Yoholo Micco, a Creek Chief" is a significant oil-on-canvas painting by American artist Charles Bird King, created in the early1820s. The painting portrays Yoholo Micco, a notable Creek Native American chief, a renowned statesman and skilled orator, who was known for involvement in the Creek War and the negotiations of the Treaty of Indian Springs.

Depicting the subject in traditional Native American attire against a neutral background, King's artwork is recognized for its delicate rendition of facial expression and detail, embodying the serenity and dignity of the chief. Resting on his club, Yoholo Micco's gaze is far-reaching, seemingly toward an uncertain future – possibly an artistic commentary on the fate of Native American tribes during a period of intense national displacement policies in the U.S.

The painting is a part of King's well-known body of commissioned portraits, which was originally housed in the Indian Gallery of Thomas L. McKenney, head of the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs at the time. While the original painting was destroyed in the Smithsonian fire in 1865, the artwork lives on through numerous lithographic reproductions, safeguarding the legacy of its subject and creator.

"Yoholo Micco, a Creek Chief" stands as one of the foremost examples of ethnographic portraiture in American art history, offering viewers a glimpse into Native American culture and leadership in the early 19th century through the lens of Charles Bird King.
