f. 23r., indigenous man’s head

This is the head of the man, of the two, who is on our left In this detail we can see the pinkish color of his skin tone. We see his black hair has some wave to it, and it reaches his shoulder. His nose is represented with one short horizontal line. His eyes have that extra line (a fold) between the eye and the eyebrow. What may be a feather comes up off the top of his head. His skin tone is painted with a pinkish light brown. Shading is used to give it three-dimensionality. [SW]
