f. 7r., indigenous man’s head

In this detail, we see a close-up of the head of one of the two indigenous men standing. Shadows on his face, by his nose and his left eye (on our right) is painted brown. His eyes are shaped with folds on the eyelids and somewhat elevated eyebrows. His mouth has a distinctive curvy line for the top lip, along with a depression shown between the mouth and nose. The bottom of the chin is outlined in black and shaded with brown paint. His neck also has a brown line at the bottom of the shading, where an Adam’s apple might be. The side of his neck also shows some shading with brown paint. His black hair is full, but appears to stop at his shoulders, or it may continue down his back. He has what may be a black feather or ponytail coming up off the top of his head. [SW]
