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. This image, however, depicts a native lord who the author criticizes for being a drunkard. He criticizes him for spending all his tribute money on wine and gambling. His name is Don Carlos Catura, and he is depicted wearing traditional clothing and sitting down while drinking alchohol. He is being served by his son, Don Felipe Guayna Catura, who is illustrated holding cups in both of his hands as he watches his father drink. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, en este rreyno [in this kingdom].
