"Bush Men Hottentots Armed for an Expedition" is an artwork by Samuel Daniell, an English painter known for his detailed depictions of African landscapes and peoples during the early 19th century. This particular work is part of a series that Daniell created during his travels in southern Africa, where he was one of the first European artists to document the region's indigenous inhabitants and wildlife with a degree of accuracy and sensitivity.

The painting portrays a group of Bushmen, also known as San people, and Hottentots, the term historically used for the Khoikhoi people, preparing for an expedition. The figures are depicted with their traditional weapons and attire, capturing a moment of activity and anticipation. Daniell's work is significant for its ethnographic value, providing insight into the customs and material culture of the indigenous groups at a time when such depictions were rare and often steeped in colonial bias.

Completed during the artist's stay in the Cape Colony from 1799 to 1802, "Bush Men Hottentots Armed for an Expedition" reflects Daniell's commitment to portraying his subjects with dignity and respect. His work contributed to a greater understanding of the diverse societies in southern Africa and remains a valuable historical record of the people and landscapes he encountered.

The painting is executed in Daniell's characteristic style, which combines meticulous detail with a romantic sensibility, and is part of a body of work that includes both watercolors and aquatints. Samuel Daniell's contributions to the visual record of African cultures have been recognized for their artistic merit as well as their documentary importance, and his works are held in various collections, including the British Museum and the Royal Geographical Society in London. "Bush Men Hottentots Armed for an Expedition" not only serves as a testament to Daniell's skill as an artist but also as a window into the lives of the indigenous peoples of southern Africa at the turn of the 19th century.
