Description: This image depicts an indigenous Christian couple kneeling and praying before an image of a crucified Christ that is hanging on the wall in front of them. Their hands are together in prayer while also holding a rosary. They are both dressed in traditional clothing and have cloaks draped over their shoulders. The man took his hat off to pray and rested his hat on the ground in front of him. This image is in a section of the book where the author aims to highlight the Christianity of the indigenous commoners in Spanish colonial Peru. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, “cristiano” [Christian].
