"Old Indian Man in his Winter Garment" is an engraving from the seminal work "A Brief and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia" by Thomas Harriot, which was published in 1590. The engraving, created by the Flemish artist Theodore de Bry, is based on a watercolor by John White, an English artist and early colonist of Roanoke Island. White's original watercolors are among the earliest visual records by an Englishman of the flora, fauna, and indigenous peoples of the New World.

The image depicts a Native American man dressed in traditional winter attire, providing valuable insight into the clothing and cultural practices of the indigenous populations encountered by English explorers in the late 16th century. Harriot's report, accompanied by de Bry's engravings, was intended to promote English colonization and investment in the New World by showcasing the land's resources and the customs of its inhabitants.

Theodore de Bry's engravings significantly influenced European perceptions of the New World. His works were widely circulated, and his detailed style contributed to the ethnographic and artistic understanding of the period. The collaboration between Harriot, White, and de Bry resulted in a richly illustrated account that remains an important historical source for the study of early European encounters with Native American societies.

"Old Indian Man in his Winter Garment" is not only a work of art but also an artifact of colonial history, reflecting the complex interactions between European explorers and the indigenous peoples of North America. The engraving is held in high regard for its historical significance and is often studied for its depiction of early contact between different cultures.
