"Pictish Man Holding a Human Head" is an illustration by John White, an English artist and early pioneer of American colonial art, known for his depictions of the New World and its indigenous peoples. White's work as an artist is particularly significant because of his role as the governor of the ill-fated Roanoke Colony and as an artist and mapmaker for Sir Walter Raleigh's expeditions to the East Coast of North America in the late 16th century.

The illustration in question is part of a series of watercolors created by White during his time in what is now the southeastern United States. These works are some of the earliest surviving visual records of the Native American peoples and their way of life before the extensive European colonization. The image of the "Pictish Man Holding a Human Head" is often noted for its detailed depiction of the subject's attire, weaponry, and the stark representation of a human head, which may have been intended to convey aspects of warfare or ritual among the indigenous populations.

John White's illustrations are invaluable historical documents that provide insight into the cultures of the Algonquian peoples of the Atlantic coast. His works are held in various collections, including the British Museum, and they continue to be studied for their ethnographic significance and as examples of early colonial art. The "Pictish Man Holding a Human Head" stands as a testament to White's skill as an artist and his unique position as an observer of pre-colonial Native American societies.
