"Joc-O-Sot, 1844" is a portrait by the American painter George Catlin, depicting the Meskwaki (Fox) leader known as Joc-O-Sot or Walking Bear. Catlin, born in 1796, was an artist and traveler who dedicated much of his career to documenting the Native American peoples and their cultures, a mission he undertook out of a belief that their way of life was being irreversibly changed by the westward expansion of European settlers.

The painting is part of Catlin's larger body of work, which includes hundreds of portraits and scenes of Native American life. He embarked on several trips to the Western United States during the 1830s, where he painted portraits of individuals from various tribes. Joc-O-Sot's portrait is significant as it captures the likeness and attire of a Native American leader during a period of great upheaval and change for indigenous peoples.

Joc-O-Sot was a prominent figure who traveled to England and participated in theatrical performances showcasing Native American culture. His life and the circumstances of his death in 1844, during a trip to England, are part of the historical context that gives this painting its significance. The portrait is rendered with Catlin's characteristic attention to detail and color, aiming to faithfully represent the subject's appearance and attire.

As with many of Catlin's works, "Joc-O-Sot, 1844" serves as both an artistic endeavor and an ethnographic record. The painting is an important historical document, offering insight into the identity and representation of Native American leaders in the 19th century. It is also a testament to Catlin's dedication to preserving the memory of the people he painted, at a time when their cultures were under threat.

The portrait of Joc-O-Sot is held in various collections and has been displayed in museums as part of exhibitions on American art and the history of the American West. It continues to be studied by historians and art scholars for its cultural and artistic value, as well as its contribution to the understanding of Native American history.
