Summary
DescriptionÉscossois sauvage (Lucas de Heere, c. 1567-80).jpg
English: "Éscossois Sauvage" ('Savage Scotsman', i.e. 'Highlander'), watercolour by Lucas de Heere from "Théâtre de tous les peuples et nations de la terre avec leurs habits et ornemens divers, tant anciens que modernes, diligemment depeints au naturel par Luc Dheere peintre et sculpteur Gantois". The figure wears a belted, pleated tunic in tartan (crudely represented as just black lines on a yellow ground), tight blue shorts (or a sort also worn in Ireland in this period), black shoes, and a light red mantle; he carries a claymore sword, and has a dirk at his belt. The image would date from 1567 or later (not 1560, as the other copy of this image says), because de Heere was not in Britain until 1567. This is a cropped version, with a water-droplet mark cleaned up.
