Description: This image depicts an indigenous man named Don Juan Capcha, standing in the centre of the page holding cups filled with wine and other alcohols. He appears to be standing in a wine cellar as there are large vases that are labelled as, uino añejo [old wine] and chicha fresca [fresh alchohol]. The drunkard is dressed in Spanish clothing and has a beard. The author describes this man to be an enemy of all Christians for being a liar, thief, and a drunkard at the expense of poor natives. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, en este rreyno [in this kingdom].
