[Buena Muerte priest]

Profile character in movement attitude. He is dressed in a long black habit. He also wears a wide-brimmed black hat and shoes. A red cross is recognized on one of his shoulders. It bears the inscription "Father of Good Death" on the bottom edge.
The order of the Good Death or Cruciferous of Saint Camilo, was characterized by offering hospitable help, spiritually and materially to the dying, especially the poor and sick.
It belongs to the album "1871 Praetoria" which contains 39 sheets of which 25 are watercolors and 14 are illuminated lithographs. These images are an example of the nineteenth-century production of pictorial costumbrismo in Peru, a repertoire of typical characters -in this case from the city of Lima-, composed without much context, and rather characterized by their work and clothing.
