Description: A group of Indigenous men, women, and children cry of happiness, some with their hands over their faces or clasped in front of them in displays of emotion. One man sits in a hammock, while two others stand around him, and three women and a child crouch or kneel on the ground. Two European men stand beside the group, dressed in long robes with caps on their heads. The child sits on the ground near the feet of one of the men and pulls on the bottom of his robes with one hand. Two structures are visible, one directly behind the group and another in the distance. This image is identical to one found on page 929 of Paris, 1575 (l’Huillier).
