The three extant Virginia landscapes by John White are quite complex. Each is undoubtedly a composite created from a number of sketches. De Bry's view includes details not present in the extant painting by White, but possibly added by White to the copy he made for de Bry. The structure marked A is "their temple," and that marked B is "the king's lodging." The engraving represents the palisade as a more formidable barrier than the one shown in the painting.
