[Meiggs, Enrique]

Image of a small child sitting on a wooden podium with particular carving where the four arts or trades of the time are shown: painting, sculpture, architecture and poetry. The child is around a year old and is supported by his Afro-Peruvian nurse. The woman fulfilled the functions of milk or child nurse, one of the tasks in which Afro-descendants performed after the abolition of slavery in Peru (1854).
