content: This must be a posthumous portrait, since Brant died in 1807, but it appears to be a realistic likeness; compare the McKenney & Hall lithograph. A full length portrait by the same artist is in the National Gallery of Canada (oil on canvas, 24" x 18", Number 5777). The latter is reproduced in The American Heritage Book of Indians, New York, 1961, page 201.

Wm. Berczy is referred to as "an agent of the Robert Morris interests" in Deardorf and Snyderman, 1956, page 61, n. 63.
