Painting Description
"Indian Woman and Baby of Pomeiooc" is a watercolor painting by John White, an English artist and early pioneer who is best known for his depictions of the landscapes and indigenous peoples of the New World. Created in 1585, this artwork is part of a series of White's ethnographic portrayals of the Native American inhabitants of the coastal regions of present-day North Carolina, specifically the area around Roanoke Island. The painting is significant as it provides a rare, contemporary visual account of the Algonquian-speaking people of the Secotan tribe in the village of Pomeiooc.
The watercolor features a Secotan woman, dressed in traditional attire, holding a baby. The image is notable for its detailed representation of the clothing, accessories, and hairstyle of the woman, which offers insights into the cultural practices and aesthetic sensibilities of the indigenous community during the late 16th century. The background of the painting, though less detailed, suggests the natural environment of the region and the living conditions of the tribe.
John White's role as both an artist and the governor of the ill-fated Roanoke Colony adds historical significance to his works. His illustrations were created during Sir Walter Raleigh's expeditions to the Americas and were later engraved by Theodor de Bry for the publication of "America," a series of travel narratives by Thomas Harriot that popularized the New World in Elizabethan England.
"Indian Woman and Baby of Pomeiooc" is part of a collection of White's works held at the British Museum in London. The painting is an invaluable resource for historians and anthropologists, as it provides a visual record of the indigenous people encountered by English settlers in the late 16th century. It also serves as a poignant reminder of the complex interactions between European colonizers and Native American tribes during the early periods of contact and colonization.
