Description: Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala has depicted a biblical story from the Book of Genesis in this illustration. This image depicts Noah and the Flood, with Noah illustrated in the centre of the image kneeling as he looks up and prays to God. Surrounding Noah are all the animals that he was instructed to bring on the Arc with him to avoid the flood. The name Noé is written above Noah’s head to identify him. The word arca is written just below the arc. There is a caption at the bottom of the image that reads, Por mandado de Dios hinchió las aguas en el mundo y castigó which translates to By God's command he swelled the waters in the world and punished.
