Description: Spanish colonists punish Indigenous men for engaging in sex with other men. Several Indigenous men on the ground try to fend off hunting dogs which have been unleashed on them. The dogs bite at the surviving men; several men have already been dismembered and killed by the dogs. A group of Spaniards stand nearby, watching the vicious attack. The men are finely dressed, and carry muskets, swords, spears, and a flag or banner. In the background, at least two dwellings are visible.
