Charles Bird King, an American portrait artist of the early 19th century, is renowned for his compelling and dignified depictions of Native American leaders. Among his most celebrated works is the portrait of Red Jacket, a prominent Seneca chief known for his oratory skills and leadership during a time of significant upheaval for his people. Painted in 1828, this portrait captures the essence of Red Jacket, whose Seneca name was Sagoyewatha, meaning "He Keeps Them Awake."

King's portrait of Red Jacket is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and its respectful representation of the chief's character and status. The painting portrays Red Jacket in traditional attire, adorned with a peace medal given to him by President George Washington, symbolizing his role as a diplomat and intermediary between Native American tribes and the United States government. The chief's stern yet thoughtful expression, combined with the intricate rendering of his clothing and accessories, reflects King's skill in capturing both the physical likeness and the inner strength of his subjects.

The portrait is part of a larger body of work by King, who was commissioned by the Bureau of Indian Affairs to create a series of portraits of Native American leaders. These portraits were intended to document and preserve the likenesses of these important figures during a period when their cultures were under threat from expanding European-American settlements. King's works, including the portrait of Red Jacket, are significant not only as artistic achievements but also as historical records that provide insight into the lives and personalities of Native American leaders of the time.

Today, the portrait of Red Jacket is housed in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, where it continues to be a powerful reminder of the complex history and enduring legacy of Native American leaders. King's respectful and detailed portrayal ensures that Red Jacket's image and the values he stood for are remembered and appreciated by future generations.
