"A Korah Hottentot Village on the Left Bank of the Orange River" is an artwork by the British artist Samuel Daniell, created during his time in southern Africa at the turn of the 19th century. Samuel Daniell (1775–1811) was known for his detailed and picturesque representations of African landscapes, wildlife, and indigenous peoples, which were among the earliest visual records of the region by a European artist. This particular work is a watercolor painting that depicts a scene of a Khoikhoi (historically referred to as Hottentot) settlement along the Orange River, which is the longest river within the borders of South Africa.

The painting is significant for its ethnographic and topographical interest, providing a visual account of the Khoikhoi people and their environment during a period of increasing European colonization and exploration. Daniell's work is characterized by its attention to detail and an attempt to portray the subjects with a degree of accuracy and sensitivity that was uncommon for the time. The Khoikhoi were among the first indigenous groups to come into contact with Europeans in southern Africa, and their portrayal in art and literature has been subject to much scrutiny and reevaluation.

In "A Korah Hottentot Village on the Left Bank of the Orange River," Daniell captures the daily life and setting of the Khoikhoi with a focus on their dwellings, dress, and activities. The artwork serves as a valuable historical document, offering insights into the cultural and social aspects of the Khoikhoi people at the beginning of the 19th century. It also reflects the broader European interest in the "exotic" and the ways in which African peoples and landscapes were represented and often romanticized during this era.

The painting is part of a series of works produced by Daniell after his expedition to southern Africa, which was sponsored by the British government. These works were later published as a collection of aquatints in the book "African Scenery and Animals" (1804–1805), which contributed to the public's understanding and imagination of the African continent. "A Korah Hottentot Village on the Left Bank of the Orange River" remains an important piece within Daniell's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic merit as well as its historical and cultural significance.
