Description: This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the descendants of the Inca and Andean nobles under Spanish colonial rule in Peru and their importance to a revived Andean society. This image depicts a standing portrait of a noble lord who is dressed in Spanish attire and holding a rosary in his right hand. This lord was responsible for overseeing fifty Indian tributaries. The author explains that if the lord had less than fifty tributaries, they would have no title and no privileges from the king. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, “tributario y cabildo, no tiene don mandón quien le falte cinqüenta yndios tributarios” [tributary and council, he who lacks fifty Indians does not have a title].
