Description:
ART WORKS James Otto Lewis painted a full-length portrait of Keokuk at the Treaty of Prairie du Chien, held at Prairie du Chien (WI) in 1825 (Lewis, 1850, p. 8). Ke-o-kuck, The Watchful Fox, is listed as a signatory of this treaty (Kappler, 1904, Vol. 2, p. 255). Location of this painting is unknown. Seven portraits of Keokuk by Charles Bird King are identified by Cosentino. The 1st (Cosentino: 347), painted in Washington (DC) in 1826, is unlocated. The 2nd (Cosentino: 348), painted in Washington (DC) in 1827 & formerly in the King family, is now in The Warner Collection, Gulf States Paper Corporation, Tuscaloosa (AL). The 3rd (Cosentino: 349), painted in Washington (DC) in 1827, is in the Danish National Museum, Copenhagen. The 4th (Cosentino: 350), painted in Washington (DC) in 1827, is in the Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History & Art, Tulsa (OK). The 5th (Cosentino: 351), painted in Washington (DC) in 1829, is listed as No. 77 in the Catalogue of Indian Paintings Belonging to the Government Collection which appeared in William J. Rhees' 1859 Guide to the Smithsonian Institution: "KEO-KUK, Watchful Fox -- First Chief of the Sankys (King, 1829)" (Viola, 1976, p. 144). It was destroyed in the Smithsonian fire of 1865. The 6th (Cosentino: 352), painted in Washington (DC) in 1829, is a full-length portrait. Formerly in the Redwood Library & Athenaeum, Newport (RI), it was sold in 1970 to The Warner Collection, Gulf States Paper Corporation, Tuscaloosa (AL). The same painting is reported in the collection of Mrs. & Mrs. Gerald P. Peters in 1983 (Viola, 1983, Plate 5). This portrait appears to be the reverse of the Lewis portrait (Viola, 1976, p. 102). The 7th (Cosentino: 353), a portrait of Keokuk & his son, was painted in Washington (DC) in 1827. It is listed as Original painted by Charles Bird King in Washington (DC) ca. 1824 (Cosentino: 454). It is listed as No. 144 in the Catalogue of Indian Paintings Belonging to the Government Collection which appeared in William J. Rhees' 1859 Guide to the Smithsonian Institution: "KEOKUK, Watchful Fox, and MU-SEN-WONT, son of Keokuk, Long-haried Fox (King, 1827)" (Viola, 1976, p. 145). It was destroyed in the Smithsonian fire of 1865. There is a King sketch of Keokuk (Cosentino: 635). It is one of 16 studies owned by Mr. & Mrs. Bayard LeRoy King, Saunderstown (RI)(Cosentino, 1977, p. 204; Viola, 1976, p. 124). The entry for No. 33 in the Catalogue of Indian Paintings Belonging to the Government Collection which appeared in William J. Rhees' 1859 Guide to the Smithsonian Institution is: "KEOKUK, Watchful Fox -- Chiocook Sac" (Viola, 1976, p. 143). No artist is indicated. It was destroyed in the Smithsonian fire of 1865. A portrait of Keokuk by Henry Inman after King (Cosentino: 351), formerly in the Peabody Museum of Archeology & Ethnology, Harvard University (Peabody No. 82-51-10\28263), is in a private collection. A full-length portrait of Keokuk by Inman after Lewis, formerly in the Peabody Museum of Archeology & Ethnology, Harvard University, (Peabody No. 82-51-10\28287) is listed in the D. Harold Byrd, Jr. Collection in 1983 (Viola, 1983, Plate 32). George Catlin painted portraits of Keokuk at the Sauk & Fox Village (IA) in 1835 (Truettner Gallery No. 1) (Truettner, 1979, pp. 31, 34, 142-143). Peter Rindisbacher painted a watercolor portrait of Keokuk in 1829 which is in the collection of the West Point Museum (Acc. No.: 552). Thomas Martin Easterly made Daguerreotype portraits of Keokuk in 1847. These images are in the Missouri Historical Society, Newberry Library, & Smithsonian Institution (Kilgo, 1994, pp. 119-141). For Daguerreotype portraits of Keokuk & his son by Thomas Easterly, see Kilgo, 1994, pp. 119, 126, 127.
