Description

This image depicts a native couple sleeping in a bed. There is a window in the top right corner which depicts the sun shining through. The author criticizes lazy indigenous people who would sleep late and avoid their duties and work in the fields. Hanging on the wall above the sleeping couple are their tools and sandals. The large caption at the top of the image reads, “pvnuy camayoc, quilla, micuy pacha cama punucunqui, quilla caspa, quitaconayquipac mana chacrayquita llamcanquicho, llamayquita riconquicho, uanota apanquicho, llamtata ychuta apanquicho. Mana puchucanqui, auanquicho causanayquipac, quilla” [sleepy and lazy, because you are lazy you will sleep until lunch time to escape sowing the field, you do not bring manure, you do not bring firewood or straw, you do not finish or knit for a living, lazy].
