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. The author explains that the noble native Christians should be clean and dress like the Spaniards so that they can be differentiated by a common native. The image depicts a cicaque [noble] on the left side of the image dressed in Spanish clothing. He is wearing puffed trousers, a cloak, a hat, and a sword on his left side. The native is wearing a simple tunic with a small line of embroidery at the bottom. A shawl is wrapped over his shoulders. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, en este rreyno [in this kingdom].
