Yes, there are actual photographs of Sarah Baartman, though not in the traditional sense of a photograph taken in a modern studio setting. There are engravings and possibly a few more photographs or portraits created after her death.
While she did not allow herself to be exhibited nude, the engravings of Baartman during her lifetime depict her in a tight-fitting garment. There are also possibly a few other photographs or portraits created after her death.
In 1810, Baartman appeared in London and was described as wearing a garment, albeit a tight-fitting one. An account of her appearance in London is available on Wikipedia.
