"Iroquois Savage" is an 18th-century illustration by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French Canadian ethnographer and writer known for his depictions of various peoples around the world. This particular illustration is part of a larger body of work that aimed to document and categorize the customs, dress, and appearance of different ethnic groups and indigenous peoples, often reflecting the European colonial perspective of the era.

The image portrays a member of the Iroquois Confederacy, a historically powerful group of Native American tribes in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's work is characterized by its detailed and colorful representation, although it is important to note that such illustrations may not always be entirely accurate or free from the artist's personal interpretation and the colonial biases of the time.

"Iroquois Savage" is significant as an artifact of its time, providing insight into European perceptions of indigenous peoples during the late 18th century. It contributes to the understanding of the complex history of representation and the often problematic ways in which indigenous cultures were depicted and understood by European colonizers.

As with many historical works of ethnography, modern viewers and scholars approach Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's illustrations with a critical eye, recognizing both their artistic value and the need to contextualize them within the broader history of colonialism and cultural interaction. The illustration serves as a visual document that can be studied to better understand the dynamics of cultural representation and the evolution of ethnographic art.
