專家說明

The sitter is T'Kaness, the daughter of T'Goosht Kaba, a wealthy chief of the Korah Hottentots, on the north of the Gareep or Orange River, the subject of plate 48 ('A Korah Girl') is Samuel and William Daniell's Sketches representing the Native Tribes, Animals and Scenery of Southern Africa (London, 1820): 'Her skin was the most timid of all the natives who was met with on the expedition to the north-east, and every art of persuasion and bribery was necessary to overcome her unwillingness to have her portrait drawn, from the apprehension that the ceremony was connected to some incantation.'
