Described posthumously as "The Capture of Osceola," this 1841 painting
quite likely depicts the capture of Coacoochee instead. Scholars have attributed
the work to Captain Seth Eastman, while noting that neither the timing of Eastman's service nor the appearance of the
subject suggest Osceola. Both, in fact,
point to Coacoochee, the most prominent chief taken during Eastman's tenure in
Florida.
