Description: This illustration depicts Martín de Ayala, step brother to the author (Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala) in the centre of the image kneeling before a crucifix. He is illustrated holding a lash as he whips himself in penance before the altar. “Padre Ayala” is written above and to the left of his head to identify him. There is a winged spirit flying through the window placing a halo upon Martín de Ayala’s head. Behind Martín de Ayala is his companion, Diego Beltrán de Caysedo. The words “Diego Beltrán de Caysedo, administrador del hospital, conpañero del padre Ayala” are written above his head, which translates to “Diego Beltrán de Caysedo, administrator of the hospital, companion to Father Ayala.” The bottom of the image notes that this takes place in the city of Huamanga, as it reads “en la ciudad Guamanga.”
