Painting Description
"Indian Village of Secoton 2" is a watercolor painting by John White, an English artist, cartographer, and early colonist who played a significant role in the British colonization of the Roanoke Island area of present-day North Carolina. White's works are among the earliest and most important visual records of the indigenous peoples and landscapes of the New World in the late 16th century. This particular painting, created around 1585-1586, is part of a series of White's depictions of Native American life and settlements, which he observed during his time as a member of Sir Walter Raleigh's expedition to establish the Roanoke Colony.
The painting, "Indian Village of Secoton 2," provides a detailed view of the Secoton, a village inhabited by the Secotan, an Algonquian-speaking people. It is a valuable historical document that offers insights into the layout and daily activities of a Native American village of the period. The artwork illustrates various aspects of the Secotan way of life, including their agricultural practices, housing structures, and community gatherings. White's attention to detail in his portrayal of the village's organization and the activities of its inhabitants makes this painting a significant resource for historians and anthropologists studying the early contact period between Native Americans and Europeans.
John White's watercolors, including "Indian Village of Secoton 2," are held in high esteem not only for their historical value but also for their artistic merit. They are considered some of the most accurate and informative illustrations of the New World prior to widespread European colonization. The painting is part of a collection of White's works that are housed at the British Museum in London, which acquired them in the 19th century. These works continue to be studied and exhibited, providing a window into the world of the indigenous peoples of the American Southeast before the transformative impact of European settlement.
