EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and customs of Peru during the 18th century. The image showcases an Indian man shaving his beard on his doorstep, providing us with a unique insight into the personal grooming practices of that time. Taken from the book "Trujillo del Peru" by Baltasar Martinez Companon y Bajanda, bishop of Trujillo, this watercolor painting beautifully depicts the scene in vivid detail. The unknown artist skillfully portrays the man's concentration as he carefully tends to his facial hair using a razor. The composition not only highlights this individual act of self-care but also offers a broader reflection on Peruvian culture and its people. It provides valuable ethnographic information about native inhabitants, their housing arrangements, and their everyday lives. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an essential aspect of personal hygiene and beauty care in 18th-century Peru. This image serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, individuals took pride in their appearance and practiced rituals to maintain cleanliness and health. Preserved within Madrid's Biblioteca del Palacio Real, this remarkable piece is part of our shared heritage. Its presence allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and gain insights into historical customs that have shaped Peruvian society over time.
