Lord Grenville, Prime Minister and leader of the Broad Bottoms faction, meets Sarah Baartman, the "Hottentot Venus": on account of their similar body-mass, a dynastic marriage is considered. Coloured etching attributed to W. Heath, 1810.

Sarah Bartman (Saartjie Baartman, Saat-Jee, "the Hotttentot Venus", etc. was exhibited in London in 1810 and died in Paris in 1815. Her remains were returned to South Africa by the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, in 2002: see The times, 30 April 2002. Here she is shown meeting members of the Grenville family, some of whom were corpulent, members of a broad-based political coalition called "Broad Bottoms", and regarded as greedy. She shakes hands with Lord Grenville (William Wyndham Grenville), Prime Minister and leader of the Broad Bottoms faction. He is shown as dark-skinned and is dressed in a parody of African costume incorporating a peer's mantle. Behind Grenville is his elder brother, the Marquess of Buckingham (George Nugent Temple Grenville), wearing spectacles. On the right, behind Baartmann, is Buckingham's son, Lord Temple (Richard Temple Nugent Brydges Chandos, Earl Temple, subsequently Duke of Buckingham and Chandos)
