This image depicts a marriage between two indigenous people in Spanish colonial Peru. The man and woman on the right side of the image are the couple who had just gotten married and their family sits on the left side of the image in front of a house. Two family members are depicted speaking to the couple while a woman turns her head away with tears on her face. The married man is depicted holding what appears to be a bundle of straw in his arms and firewood on his back. The woman is holding a drum. The caption at the top of the image reads, obedecimiento del cuñado al suegro dotarse entre ellos y cazarse uírgenes y donzellas y concierto de entre padre y madre y rrepartille haziendas y bienes y seruille en uida y en muerte y en fiestas que ellos dize maza tucuna [brother-in-law obedience to the father-in-law: marry virgins and maidens, morther and father distribute goods and properties and in the party, they say let’s make brother-in-law]. The dialogue written by the married man’s head reads, cayllacta, caca, mazay, cupuuay [give me no more, maternal uncle and brother-in-law of mine]. The dialogue written above the man closest to the house on the left replies, capac mazallay [my prosperous brother-in-law]. The other man has dialogue written by his mouth which reads, aya maza [brother-in-law of value].
