Murúa Manuscript
Artista: No identificado
Siglo XVII · Perú
Colección: Códice Murúa
This watercolor, from the Murúa Manuscript, depicts a female figure who could represent an Inca noblewoman or priestess. She is dressed in elaborate attire and holds a small bowl with fruits and a ceremonial feathered object in her hands. The style is illustrative and ethnographic, typical of the chronicles of the Indies from the 16th and 17th centuries, which aimed to document the cultures of the New World.
