Summary
[edit]DescriptionHighlanders by Hieronymus Tielsch, c. 1603–1616.png |
English: A man and woman of the Scottish Highlands. It attempts to show tartan cloth in green and blue with a red over-check; the man in a belted plaid ("great kilt", and one seemingly edged with fur or brown material) and the woman in a draped earasaid plaid over a red dress. The main is wearing a blue bonnet, and has a bow and sword. The woman has a lace collar and headwear. Both wear shoes and the man has diced short hose. German watercolour from a travel journal. The accuracy of the details is in doubt because the tartan is not illustrated in a form that could actually be woven (the blue and green checks should be staggered and overlapping), and the sword shown is a fanciful combination of a German landskneckt blade and quillions with a Scottish claymore hilt. Nevertheless, this is the earliest known work depicting Highlanders wearing what is unambiguously tartan. (An earlier watercolour by Lucas de Heere depicted simple dark lines on a yellow ground). |
