John White's "Eskimo (Inuit) Woman and Baby" is a significant work of art that offers a glimpse into the lives of the Inuit people during the late 16th century. John White, an English artist and cartographer, is best known for his detailed watercolors and drawings that document the indigenous peoples and landscapes of the New World. His works are particularly valuable as they provide some of the earliest visual records of Native American and Inuit cultures.

The watercolor "Eskimo (Inuit) Woman and Baby" is believed to have been created around 1577-1580, during White's expeditions to the Arctic regions. The artwork depicts an Inuit woman carrying her baby, both dressed in traditional Inuit clothing made from animal skins and fur, which were essential for survival in the harsh Arctic climate. The woman's attire includes a hooded parka, while the baby is snugly secured in her amauti, a traditional Inuit garment designed to carry infants.

White's depiction is notable for its attention to detail and ethnographic accuracy. The artist's careful observation of the clothing, tools, and physical features of the Inuit people provides valuable insights into their way of life. The watercolor also reflects the European fascination with the "exotic" cultures encountered during the Age of Exploration, as well as a genuine interest in documenting and understanding these diverse societies.

The significance of "Eskimo (Inuit) Woman and Baby" extends beyond its artistic merit. It serves as an important historical document, offering a rare visual record of Inuit culture during a period of early contact with European explorers. Today, John White's works, including this watercolor, are housed in various collections, such as the British Museum, where they continue to be studied and appreciated for their cultural and historical value.
