EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "Short-haired girl of twelve years herding llamas" by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala takes us on a journey to the ancient lands of Peru. The image depicts a young girl with short hair, dressed in traditional attire, skillfully guiding a herd of llamas through the rugged terrain. Her determined gaze and confident stance reveal her deep connection with these majestic creatures, as she fulfills her role as a farm hand at such a tender age. The llama's loyalty and trust in their young shepherdess is evident, creating an enchanting scene that transports us back to the time of the Incas. The intricate details captured in this woodcut showcase not only the artistic talent of Huaman Poma de Ayala but also provide valuable insights into Peruvian culture and agricultural practices during that era. From the walking stick or cane she carries to assist her in navigating difficult paths to the rustic farmhouse nestled amidst vast farmland, every element tells a story. As we admire this timeless piece from our private collection, we are reminded of the rich history and heritage preserved within art. This woodcut serves as both an educational tool and an aesthetic delight for those who appreciate South American traditions and farming customs.
