<< Back to Section

This is a detail, appearing in Book V, folio 2 recto, of the head of the indigenous man whose name may be don Gaspar Moteuczoma. We see most of his face outlined in black ink, including two eyebrows, two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. His hair falls in waves to his shoulders. His skin is washed in a skin-tone watercolor. His eyes are completely filled in with black ink. There are suggestions of a possible goatee and mustache. [SW]
don Gaspar Moctezuma
Detalle de la cabeza de un hombre indígena cuyo nombre sería don Gaspar Moctezuma. Vemos la mayor parte de su cara delineada en tinta negra, incluyendo sus cejas, los ojos, la nariz y la boca. Su pelo ondulado llega la altura de los hombros. Está pintado con acuarelas del color de su piel y sus ojos están completamente pintados en negro. Parecería tener un bigote y una barba candado.
