A 19th-century colored plate depicting a Mexican genre scene. A man, dressed in striped tunic and shorts, kneels beside an agave plant to extract aguamiel. He uses an acocote, a long hollow tube, to suck the liquid from the plant's heart. To his left on the ground are a straw hat, a cloth bundle, and a wooden bucket for collection. The composition details the traditional technique for obtaining pulque, highlighting the labor and rural setting.
