"A Young Pictish Woman" is a watercolor painting by the French artist Jacques le Moyne de Morgues, who is renowned for his detailed botanical illustrations and depictions of indigenous peoples. Created in the late 16th century, this artwork is part of a series that illustrates the lives and appearances of the Picts, an ancient people who lived in what is now Scotland. Le Moyne de Morgues, who was also a cartographer and explorer, is believed to have based his depictions on earlier accounts and descriptions, as he never visited Scotland himself.

The painting portrays a young Pictish woman adorned with traditional tattoos, which were a significant aspect of Pictish culture. Her attire and accessories are meticulously detailed, reflecting the artist's commitment to ethnographic accuracy, even though his sources were second-hand. The woman's tattoos are particularly noteworthy, as they provide insight into the body art practices of the Picts, who were known for their elaborate and symbolic tattooing.

Le Moyne de Morgues' work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value. It offers a glimpse into the European perception of the Picts during the Renaissance period. The painting is part of a larger collection of works by Le Moyne de Morgues that document various indigenous cultures, including those of the Americas, which he encountered during his travels with French expeditions.

Today, "A Young Pictish Woman" is appreciated both as a piece of art and as a historical document. It is housed in various collections and continues to be studied by historians and art enthusiasts alike for its detailed representation and cultural significance.
