"A Girl Fetching Water" 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 southeastern part of North America in the late 16th century. White was part of the expedition to Roanoke Island, where he served as the governor of the ill-fated Roanoke Colony, which later became known as the "Lost Colony" due to the mysterious disappearance of its inhabitants.

The painting, created circa 1585-1593, is significant for its ethnographic and historical value, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the Native American people encountered by the English settlers. It is one of the few visual records from this period of early contact between Europeans and the indigenous populations of what is now the United States.

In "A Girl Fetching Water," White illustrates a young Native American woman, possibly from the Secotan or another Algonquian-speaking tribe, in the act of collecting water. The subject is depicted with attention to detail, highlighting her attire, accessories, and the tools used for carrying water, which provides insight into the material culture of the time. The artwork is part of a larger collection of White's works that were eventually engraved by Theodor de Bry and published in the late 16th century, helping to shape European perceptions of the New World.

The painting is not only an important artifact for understanding the early colonial history of North America but also serves as a testament to the skills and perspectives of John White as an artist and observer. His works are considered some of the most important visual records of the indigenous peoples and their way of life before substantial European influence altered the landscape and cultures.

Today, "A Girl Fetching Water" and other works by John White are held in various collections and are studied for their artistic merit as well as their contribution to the historical understanding of the period. The painting is a valuable resource for historians, anthropologists, and art historians, offering a window into a world that has since been transformed.
