[Rural policeman leading an Afro-descendant woman behind]

Afro-descendant couple on a donkey. The woman wears a yellow dress and a hat that covers all her hair. The man wears a white suit with a red ribbon on the side of the pants, a blue cape that ends in a red frock coat, boots and a black hat. A bird is seen in the right background.
According to the description in German, the image would correspond to a policeman carrying a woman he has caught, although the reason is unknown. Inscription: "Landpolizei ine negerin gejungen embringins".
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.
