"Indian Woman and Young Girl" is an engraving by Theodor de Bry, based on an original watercolor by John White, an English artist and early settler in North America. The engraving is part of a larger body of work that documents the indigenous peoples of the Americas, specifically those encountered by English explorers in the late 16th century. Theodor de Bry, a Flemish-born engraver and publisher, is renowned for his series of illustrated travel accounts, which include depictions of the New World and its inhabitants. His engravings were instrumental in shaping European perceptions of the Americas during the Age of Exploration.

John White, who created the original watercolor, was a member of the Roanoke Colony expeditions and is known for his detailed and sympathetic portrayals of Native American life. His works are among the earliest visual records of the indigenous peoples of the southeastern United States. White's watercolors were later adapted by de Bry into engravings, which were published in the multi-volume series "America," beginning in 1590.

The engraving "Indian Woman and Young Girl" captures a moment of daily life, depicting a woman and a child in traditional attire. The woman is shown with intricate body paint and adornments, holding a basket, while the young girl stands beside her, also adorned with body paint. The image is notable for its attention to detail and ethnographic accuracy, reflecting White's firsthand observations and de Bry's skillful engraving techniques.

De Bry's engravings, including "Indian Woman and Young Girl," played a significant role in disseminating knowledge about the New World to a European audience. They provided a visual complement to the written accounts of explorers and settlers, offering a glimpse into the lives and cultures of the indigenous peoples. Despite the potential for European bias and the limitations of the engravers' interpretations, these works remain valuable historical documents, contributing to our understanding of early encounters between Europeans and Native Americans.
