Description: This image depicts the mistreatment of the black population in colonial Spanish society of Peru. There is a Spanish master standing on the right side of the image holding a long stick in his right hand as he beats the black slaves kneeling before him. The author explains that, despite the black people of Peru being slaves, they were good, devout Christians who had patience when being mistreated by their masters. The kneeling woman is looking at her master with tears running down her face as she holds her hand in the air. The kneeling man has his head pointed towards the ground as he also has tears running down their face.
