ART WORKS A portrait of Esh-ta-hum-lah by James Otto Lewis (1799-1858) is listed as No. 32 in the catalog of his Indian Gallery (Lewis, 1850, p. 12). The location of this painting is unknown. Original (Cosentino: 325) painted by Charles Bird King (1785-1862), Washington (D.C.), 1824. This painting is listed as No. 10 in the Catalogue of Indian Paintings Belonging to the Government Collection which appeared in William J. Rhees' 1859 Guide to the Smithsonian Institution: "EESH-TAH-HUM-LEAH, Sleepy Eye -- Sioux Chief, from the band called the Sipsctongs." (Viola, 1976, p. 143). It was destroyed in the Smithsonian fire of 1865. There is a King sketch of Sleepy Eyes (Cosentino: 631). It is one of sixteen studies owned by Mr. & Mrs. Bayard LeRoy King, Saunderstown, Rhode Island (Cosentino, 1977, p. 203; Viola, 1976, p. 129). A copy of the King painting by Henry Inman (1801-1846), formerly in the Peabody Museum of Archeology and Ethnology, Harvard University (Peabody No. 82-51-10\28192), is in the Minnesota Historical Society (MHS No.: AV1982.306.2 (Neg.
