"Young Woman from a Neighbouring Tribe to the Picts, from Admiranda Narratio..." is an engraving by Theodore de Bry, based on a watercolor by John White, created between 1585 and 1588. This work is part of a collection that accompanied the "Admiranda Narratio," a volume published in 1590 that detailed the first English attempts to colonize the New World, specifically the area of present-day Virginia. John White, the governor of the ill-fated Roanoke Colony and an accomplished artist, documented the indigenous peoples and landscapes of the region, providing a valuable historical record of the era.

The engraving depicts a young woman from a tribe neighboring the Picts, an ancient group of people who lived in what is now eastern and northern Scotland. While the term "Picts" is historically associated with Scotland, in the context of White's work, it refers to the native peoples of the Virginia territory. The image is notable for its detailed representation of the woman's attire, accessories, and physical appearance, offering insights into the culture and customs of the indigenous tribes encountered by the English colonists.

Theodore de Bry, a Flemish engraver and publisher, was known for his work in illustrating early European expeditions to the Americas. His engravings, based on the drawings of explorers like John White, played a significant role in shaping European perceptions of the New World. De Bry's engravings were widely disseminated and had a profound impact on the contemporary understanding of the indigenous peoples and the natural environment of the Americas.

The engraving of the young woman is an important historical artifact, reflecting the intersection of art, exploration, and the early stages of European colonialism. It is a testament to the efforts of artists and engravers like White and de Bry in documenting the unknown and often misunderstood cultures of the New World. The work remains a subject of study for historians, art historians, and anthropologists interested in the visual representation of the indigenous peoples of North America and the colonial mindset of the period.
