Description: This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the Christian priests in the colonial government in Peru. This image depicts a Spanish parish priest on the right side of the image holding a whip in his right hand and holding the hands of an indigenous man with his left. The parish priest has an angry expression as he swings the whip towards the kneeling man. The indigenous man is illustrated naked as he is shamefully punished by the priest. The indigenous man’s name, don francisco auquiquia, is written above his head. The author criticizes the parish priests in colonial Peru society for being cruel and abusive towards the indigenous peoples.
