Painting Description
"Portrait of Pocahontas (1595-1617) after 1616" is an engraving by the Dutch artist Simon van de Passe, created during the early 17th century. The portrait is one of the most iconic images of Pocahontas, a Native American woman notable for her association with the colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia, and her marriage to Englishman John Rolfe. This engraving is particularly significant as it is one of the few contemporary depictions of Pocahontas and is often cited as a primary visual source regarding her appearance.
Simon van de Passe was a member of a family of notable engravers and artists, and his work on this portrait is considered an important contribution to the visual history of the early colonial period in North America. The engraving shows Pocahontas in European attire, reflecting her assimilation into English society following her conversion to Christianity and her marriage. The portrait is inscribed with her baptismal name, "Matoaka," as well as "Rebecca," and includes her married name, "Rolfe."
The image has been widely reproduced and has taken on a symbolic significance in American culture, representing themes of cross-cultural exchange, colonial encounter, and the complex legacy of European settlement in the Americas. The original engraving by Simon van de Passe is held in various collections, including the British Museum, and continues to be studied by historians and art scholars for its artistic and historical value.
The "Portrait of Pocahontas (1595-1617) after 1616" serves as a poignant reminder of the life of Pocahontas and the early interactions between Native Americans and European settlers. It remains a key artifact for understanding the representation of indigenous peoples in art and the ways in which their identities were shaped by colonial narratives.
