EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Pictish Man Holding a Shield" transports us back in time to the ancient lands of Scotland. Created by the talented artist John White in the late 16th century, this print captures the essence of a Pictish warrior with remarkable detail and precision. The Picts were an enigmatic people who inhabited Scotland during early medieval times. Known for their fierce nature and distinctive body art, they were often regarded as barbarians or savages by neighboring civilizations. This lithograph beautifully portrays one such Pictish man, holding his shield firmly as if ready to defend his land against any intruders. The intricate engraving technique employed by White brings out every line and curve on the warrior's face, showcasing his strength and determination. The attention to detail extends to his attire - from the intricately patterned cloak draped over his shoulder to the carefully crafted shield adorned with symbols unique to Pictish culture. This print is not only a testament to John White's artistic skill but also serves as a valuable historical document that sheds light on these mysterious people who once roamed Scotland's rugged landscapes. It offers us a glimpse into their way of life and reminds us of our shared human history. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this lithograph continues to captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of an early Scotsman - proud, resilient, and forever etched in history.
