"Female Quadroon Slave of Surinam" is a historical engraving created by an artist known as Perry, based on the works of John Gabriel Stedman, a Dutch-British soldier and author. Published in 1806, the engraving is part of a larger body of work that illustrates Stedman's experiences in Suriname, documented in his narrative titled "Narrative of a Five Years Expedition against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam." This narrative, first published in 1796, recounts Stedman's time in the Dutch colony of Suriname in South America, where he was sent to suppress a rebellion among the enslaved population.

The engraving depicts a female quadroon slave, with "quadroon" historically referring to a person of one-quarter African descent. The image is significant as it provides a visual representation of the racial categorizations and social hierarchies that were prevalent in colonial societies, particularly in the context of slavery. It also serves as a historical record of the attire and physical appearance of women of mixed heritage in the Surinamese colony during the late 18th century.

John Gabriel Stedman's works, including the "Female Quadroon Slave of Surinam" engraving, have been studied by historians and scholars for their detailed observations of the conditions of slavery and colonial life in Suriname. The engravings that accompany Stedman's narrative are considered important visual documents that complement his written descriptions of the brutal realities of the slave society, as well as the cultural and social aspects of the period.

The "Female Quadroon Slave of Surinam" is part of a larger collection of images that have been both praised for their historical value and critiqued for their role in perpetuating the exoticization and objectification of their subjects. As such, the engraving is not only a piece of historical artwork but also a subject of discourse in postcolonial studies and discussions about the representation of race and gender during the colonial era.
