"A Hottentot, a Hottentot Woman, a Kaffre, a Kaffre Woman: Four Head and Shoulder Vignettes" is a series of illustrations by the British artist Samuel Daniell (1775–1811), known for his detailed and evocative depictions of African landscapes and peoples during the early 19th century. These works are part of Daniell's broader oeuvre, which sought to document the indigenous peoples and natural environment of Southern Africa, a region that was relatively unknown to many in Europe at the time.

Created during Daniell's travels in Southern Africa, these vignettes are significant for their ethnographic and artistic value, providing a visual record of the Khoikhoi (referred to historically as "Hottentots") and the Xhosa (historically referred to as "Kaffres")—two of the region's indigenous groups. The terms "Hottentot" and "Kaffre" are now considered outdated and offensive; contemporary references to these groups use the terms Khoikhoi and Xhosa, respectively.

Each vignette in the series captures the facial features, traditional attire, and adornments of the individuals, reflecting the artist's attention to detail and his commitment to portraying his subjects with a sense of dignity and respect. Daniell's work is particularly noted for its departure from the often exaggerated and fantastical representations of African peoples that were common in European art of the period.

The illustrations by Samuel Daniell are important historical documents that contribute to our understanding of the cultural and social aspects of the Khoikhoi and Xhosa peoples in the early 1800s. They are also a testament to the cross-cultural encounters that occurred during a time of European exploration and colonization. Today, these vignettes are studied not only for their artistic merit but also for their role in shaping European perceptions of African societies during the colonial era.
