Information about the Picture
“When Mr. Catlin, the artist, was about taking the portrait of … [Soup], he seized the ball and chain that were fastened to his leg, and, raising them on high, exclaimed, with a look of scorn, ‘Make me so, and show me to the Great Father.’ On Mr. Catlin's refusing to paint him as he wished, he kept varying his countenance with grimaces to prevent him from catching a likeness”

Soup was second in command to Black Hawk during the war and brother of The Prophet, with whom he conspired to bring about the conflict.
