Painting Description
"Eskimo (Inuit) Man; Eskimo (Inuit) Man Seen from Behind; Eskimo (Inuit) Woman and Baby; Englishmen in a skirmish with Eskimos" are a series of watercolor illustrations by John White, an English artist and early pioneer who is best known for his depictions of the landscapes and peoples of the New World. Created in the late 16th century, these works are among the earliest visual records by a European of the indigenous peoples of the North American Arctic, specifically the Inuit, who were often referred to as "Eskimos," a term now considered outdated and pejorative.
John White's illustrations are significant historical documents that provide insights into the first encounters between European explorers and the indigenous populations of North America. White's works are particularly valuable for their ethnographic detail, offering a glimpse into the attire, tools, and daily life of the Inuit people as perceived by an outsider during this period. His illustrations also reflect the interactions, sometimes hostile, between the English and the indigenous peoples, as evidenced by the depiction of a skirmish.
The illustrations were created during White's voyages to the New World, which included his time as the governor of the ill-fated Roanoke Colony. His works were later engraved by Theodor de Bry and published in the late 16th century, helping to shape European perceptions of the New World and its inhabitants. Today, these illustrations are not only important works of art but also serve as primary sources for understanding the early history of European and indigenous contact in North America. They are held in various collections, including the British Museum, and continue to be studied for their artistic merit and historical significance.
