Khoikhoi woman with infant, anonymous, c. 1675 - c. 1725 Canvas Print
Black woman dressed in a pubic patch. She wrapped leather straps around both of her shins to protect her from the sharp thickets. On her wrist she wears a necklace with red beads. On her back she carries an infant who drinks from her chest that she has knocked over her shoulder, a well-known Western cliché. In her left hand, she holds a dripping piece of intestine. That referred to the khoikhoi's habit of eating raw intestines. This drawing was copied from a print in Thomas Herbert, 'Some yeares travels into Africa an Asia the Great' (1634).
