Label TextOne of the four Indian Kings who went to England from the Colonies. He is shown facing forward with an open shirt, a braid over one shoulder, and fur pieces over his ears. It is likely that Schenck was in England when these four arrived and made these drawings from life. They are so rare however, that there is no record of them in all of the extensive listings of Schenck.
