"Cunne Shote, Chief of the Cherokees" is an 18th-century engraving by French artist Pierre Duflos, based on a painting by English artist Francis Parsons. The work is a portrait of Cunne Shote, also known as Standing Turkey, who was a prominent Cherokee leader during the mid-1700s. The engraving is significant as it provides a visual representation of an important Native American figure during a period of intense interaction and often conflict between European settlers and indigenous peoples in North America.

The portrait is notable for its detailed depiction of Cunne Shote's attire, which includes a mixture of traditional Cherokee elements and European-influenced items, reflecting the complex intercultural dynamics of the era. Cunne Shote is shown wearing a peace medal, indicating his role in negotiations between the Cherokee people and the British government. The peace medal was a common diplomatic gift from British officials to Native American leaders during this period.

Pierre Duflos, the engraver, was part of a family of French engravers and is known for his portraits and reproductions of works by other artists. The original painting by Francis Parsons, which served as the basis for Duflos's engraving, was created during a time when the British were actively commissioning portraits of Native American delegates who visited London as part of diplomatic missions.

"Cunne Shote, Chief of the Cherokees" is an important historical artifact that offers insight into the representation of Native American leaders in art and the role of such images in colonial diplomacy. The engraving is held in various collections and has been referenced in scholarly works discussing the depiction of Native Americans in European art and the visual culture of colonial America.
