This is one of the earliest known depictions of a Cherokee town, Toqua, painted in 1819 by Felix Marie Ferdinand Storelli, based on an earlier painting by Antoine-Philippe d'Orleans. The original was based upon sketches Antoine-Philippe did while visiting the site in 1797. This painting captures examples of a dugout canoe, a Mississippian period earthen mound, Cherokee dwellings, a town house and several villagers. This painting, in addition to the diary written during the same trip by his brother and future King of France, Louis-Philippe d'Orleans, serve as valuable resources on the architecture, technologies and culture of Cherokees in East Tennessee.
