Français : Sawtche, nommée Sarah Saartjie Baartman en Europe (ca. 1790 - 1815), dite la Vénus Hottentote, capturée en Afrique du Sud, exhibée comme phénomène de foire puis contrainte à la prostitution, étudiée comme spécimen de "Femme de race Bôchismann" en 1815 par Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire et Georges Cuvier, lequel en déduisit des théories sur l'infériorité de certaines races humaines. Ces images (réunies ici pour la présentation) sont deux planches extraites du tome II des « illustrations de l'Histoire Naturelle des Mammifères ». On les trouve entre les représentations d'un mouflon de Corse (femelle) et d'un entelle (mâle). Cette illustration est issue d'une peinture de la jeune femme exposée nue dans le Jardin botanique devant des peintres qui dessinent son portrait.
