"A Female Negro Slave, with a Weight chained to her ankle, from Narrative of a Five Years Expedition against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam, in Guiana, on the Wild Coast of South America, from the year 1772 to 1777" is a notable engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi, based on a drawing by John Gabriel Stedman. The work is part of Stedman's extensive account of his experiences in Suriname as a soldier, which was published in 1796. The engraving is significant for its historical and artistic value, providing a stark visual representation of the brutalities faced by enslaved Africans in the Dutch colony during the 18th century.

The image depicts a female slave in a state of distress, with a heavy weight chained to her ankle, symbolizing the inhumanity and physical burdens imposed by slavery. Stedman's narrative, combined with Bartolozzi's engraving skills, aimed to shed light on the plight of slaves and the cruel conditions under which they lived and worked. The illustration is one of many in Stedman's narrative that documented the harsh realities of colonial exploitation and the resistance of enslaved people.

This particular engraving is often referenced in discussions of slavery, abolitionist movements, and colonial history, as well as in studies of 18th-century art and illustration. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of slavery and has been instrumental in educating subsequent generations about this dark chapter in history. The work remains an important artifact for understanding the cultural and socio-political climate of the era, as well as the role of visual art in activism and social commentary.
