What’s up with the depiction of native Americans? This book sold for just over $24,000 at auction. Interesting to look up this guys illustrations of Indians. This is of a native from Virginia. I believe his work is the first images of natives in south and North America. - Conspiracies

You're right, it's a Pictish woman and the picture has probably been used on several websites. Picts were tatted and mostly naked, which evolved into men not wearing anything under the kilt.

Here is a Pictish Man from the same artist
