"A Woman of the Congo" is an 18th-century engraving by French artist Pierre Duflos (1742–1816), which forms part of the collection "Receuil des Estampes, representant les Rangs et les Dignites, suivant le Costume de toutes les Nations existantes." This comprehensive portfolio, published in 1780, was the work of Dutch publisher Adriaan Schoonebeek and aimed to depict the various ranks, dignities, and costumes of people from existing nations across the world at the time. Duflos, known for his detailed engravings, contributed to this ethnographic endeavor by capturing the attire and stature of a Congolese woman, thereby providing a European audience with a visual representation of the Congo's cultural attire.

The engraving is significant both as an example of the European fascination with "exotic" cultures during the Age of Enlightenment and as a historical record of the perceptions and interpretations of African societies by European artists and publishers. While the work offers insight into the period's artistic and cultural exchange, it also reflects the contemporary European biases and the colonial gaze, which often influenced such depictions. "A Woman of the Congo" is an important piece for scholars studying the history of ethnography, art, and the cross-cultural interactions of the 18th century.
