Description: This image depicts Juan Lopez de Quintanilla, a pastoral inspector in colonial Peru. He is illustrated in the centre of the image riding a horse, dressed in a coak and hat. He has an indigenous assistant walking on foot in front of the horse. The author praises Juan Lopez de Quintanilla and his services to God and the kingdom. Because many indigenous peoples would try to complain to inspectors about the abuse they received from parish priests, the parish priests would try to hide them away during inspections. This inspector is praised for having punished the priests for their mistreatment of the indigenous peoples.
