Description: This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses and criticizes the government and society in Spanish conquered Peru. This image depicts a Corregidor [Magistrate] sleeping comfortably in his bed with a female companion on the right side of the image. There is a man named Don Cristobal de Leon on the left side of the image with his hands and feet shackled and legs in a stock. The author explains that the Corregidor in this image and the previous Corregidor both imprisoned and abused Don Cristobal for speaking in favour for the indigenous peoples of Peru. There is writing on the curtains of the Corregidor’s bed which represent his dialogue. It reads, hina wanuy pleytista [die where you are, troublemaker]. There is also writing on the stock that Don Cristobal’s legs are in. It reads, por dios pasare este trauajo [For God I will suffer these troubles].
