EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of the wife of a Powhatan Chief of Pomeoc, North Carolina" offers a glimpse into the rich and vibrant culture of Native Americans in the late 16th century. The image depicts a woman adorned with intricate tattoos, necklaces, and a fringed deer-skin skirt. She carries a gourd, symbolizing her connection to nature and her role as an important figure within her community. The engraving is based on a portrait by John White, an English artist who documented indigenous peoples during his travels to America. It showcases the traditional costume worn by women in the Powhatan tribe, providing valuable insight into their clothing and adornments. The detailed woodblock engraving was created by Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot after Christoph Krieger's design from Cesare Vecellio's book "Costumes anciens et modernes". The decorative frame surrounding the portrait adds elegance to this historical artwork. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and diversity of Native American cultures that thrived long before European colonization. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and encourages us to appreciate and respect indigenous traditions that have shaped our world today. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection but has been made accessible through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images.
