Her tattooed skin and clothing are the features the catalog emphasizes in this image, which is listed under Timucua women of Florida in the 1580s. The original watercolor is credited to John White, the English artist who sailed to the Atlantic coast of North America in the 1580s and recorded Native life with unusual care. The Timucua were among the peoples of northeastern Florida who met European colonists during that period. Theodore de Bry later engraved White's drawings for European readers, so images like this one helped shape how many people in Europe pictured the Americas.
