Description: After the Inca Emperor Atahualpa was captured by Francisco Pizarro and his men, Spanish soldiers rampaged through the area around Cajamarca in Peru. Here, a group of soldiers have come across a pond where several Inca women bathe. Some of the Spaniards approach the pond from the far side, and others wade into the water and seize women. Several of the women have been pulled from the water and are dragged by the soldiers towards a stand of trees nearby. Women amongst the trees are pushed to the ground by soldiers, and sexually assaulted.
