[Franciscan monk]

A man from behind wears a white hat and a black religious dress down to his feet. He has a white cord tied around his waist. He carries a basket with oranges in his left hand and a cane in his right hand.
The Franciscans arrived early in the Peruvian viceroyalty, developing important missionary work that persists to this day. Poverty was one of his founding vows, so his habits are humble, encircling his waist with a cord. Inscription: "St Franciscaner Monch".
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.
