Description: Inca Emperor Atahualpa (Atabalipa) negotiates a ransom amount with Francisco Pizarro, to secure his release from Spanish captivity. Inside a large, open room in the city Cajamarca in Peru, Atahualpa is seated on a chair with his ankles chained to the chair legs. Francisco Pizarro stands in front of him while the two negotiate. Several other Spaniards mill about the room, including a young boy. In the background, an Inca man is escorted into the building by a group of soldiers, led by a chain attached to his ankle. This image is identical to one found on page 9 (127) of Frankfurt, 1596.
