Biographical History
Artist noted for his Indian portraits.
Trained at the Royal Academy by Benjamin West, King in 1819 opened a studio in Washington, D.C. During 1821-1822 he began to paint portraits of visiting Indians for Thomas McKenney, superintendent of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. One of these first portraits was of Petalesharo (called Terrekitauahu by King), a Loup Pawnee chief who was visiting Washington as part of an Indian delegation led by Indian agent Benjamin O'Fallon.
