"Red Jacket" is a notable oil painting created by the American artist Thomas Hicks in 1868. The artwork is a distinguished portrait of the Seneca orator and leader, Red Jacket, also known by his Seneca name, Sagoyewatha. Red Jacket was a prominent figure in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, known for his eloquence and leadership in advocating for the rights and sovereignty of the Seneca people and other Native American tribes during a period of significant upheaval and encroachment by European settlers.

Thomas Hicks, an accomplished portraitist of the 19th century, sought to capture the dignified presence and resolute spirit of Red Jacket in this painting. The portrait is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of Red Jacket's facial features and traditional attire. Hicks' use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure, lending a lifelike quality to the portrayal. The background of the painting is relatively subdued, ensuring that the focus remains on the subject.

Red Jacket is depicted wearing a traditional Seneca headdress and a red coat, which is believed to have been a gift from a British officer, symbolizing his status and the complex relationships between Native American tribes and European powers. His expression is one of solemn contemplation, reflecting his role as a spokesperson and defender of his people.

The painting is not only a significant artistic achievement but also an important historical document. It provides insight into the appearance and attire of Red Jacket, as well as the broader cultural and political context of the time. Today, "Red Jacket" by Thomas Hicks is held in high regard and is part of the collection at the New-York Historical Society, where it continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance.
