A Young Daughter of the Picts, c. 1585
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the 16th century and offers a glimpse into the world of the ancient Pictish people. Created by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues, this exquisite artwork showcases his mastery in watercolor and gouache techniques with delicate touches of gold on vellum. In this enchanting composition, we see a young Pictish girl standing amidst a picturesque landscape adorned with vibrant flowers. Her body is intricately painted with striking patterns, showcasing the rich tradition of body art among her people. Holding a lance or spear in her hand, she exudes strength and resilience. The painting beautifully captures both the feminine grace and fierce spirit embodied by this young woman. The intricate floral motifs symbolize her connection to nature and hint at her deep understanding of botany and natural history. As we admire this masterpiece, we are transported to Scotland's countryside, where chains hang from trees as if guarding its secrets. The colors are vivid and harmonious, reflecting not only Le Moyne's artistic skill but also his deep appreciation for Scottish landscapes. This artwork serves as an important historical document that sheds light on the culture and traditions of the Picts during their existence centuries ago. It reminds us of our shared human heritage across time and invites us to explore our own connections to our ancestors. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection, "A Young Daughter of the Picts" continues
