"Head of a Brown Pelican" is a notable artwork by John White, an English artist, cartographer, and early explorer of North America. Created in the late 16th century, specifically around 1585-1586, this piece is part of a larger collection of White's works that document the flora, fauna, and indigenous peoples of the then newly discovered territories, particularly the area around Roanoke Island, which is now part of North Carolina, USA. White's artworks are among the earliest visual records by a European of the natural environment and inhabitants of North America, providing invaluable insights into the region before the impact of extensive European colonization.

The "Head of a Brown Pelican" stands out for its detailed depiction of the bird, showcasing White's keen observation skills and his ability to capture the essence of his subject with precision and sensitivity. The artwork is executed in watercolor and is noted for its realism and attention to detail, characteristics that are emblematic of White's approach to all his works. As a pelican, the subject of this artwork holds particular significance, as these birds were of interest to European explorers and naturalists due to their distinctive appearance and behaviors, which were unfamiliar to many at the time.

John White's contributions, including the "Head of a Brown Pelican," are of great historical and artistic value, offering a window into the natural world of 16th-century North America as well as the practices of early scientific illustration and exploration. His works are preserved in various collections, including the British Museum, and continue to be studied for their artistic merit and as primary sources for understanding early European encounters with the Americas. The "Head of a Brown Pelican" not only exemplifies White's artistic skill but also serves as a testament to the rich biodiversity that greeted early explorers upon their arrival in the New World.
