Analyzing a piece of art related to the Georgia colony James Oglethorpe took Tomochichi, his nephew Toonahowi, and other Yamacraw back to England to meet the Georgia trustees. The trip was in July, 1734. William Verelst painted this group portrait. He was probably present at this meeting, since he would have had to sketch where everyone was standing or sitting.
