Based on the baron’s remarks of 1807 in his Memoirs, this watercolor was formerly thought to depict Red Jacket: “The chief Read Jaret [sic] . . . was engaged in making shoes of deer skin called mocassins . . .” Although this activity is similar to the one Henriette depicted, her sitter does not wear a red jacket, and his facial features and hair do not resemble those of portraits of the Seneca chief. In addition, none of the portraits of Red Jacket show him with the ear modifications of Henriette’s sitter.
