Historia general del Piru
Historia general del Piru is a 1616 manuscript of painted pages from the Getty Museum, made in Spanish colonial Peru to record the Inca rulers and their dress for a European audience. The four pictures show full-length standing figures in Andean robes with textile-patterned tunics, mantles and headdresses, set against ruled ground lines and faint text, offering designers a view of colonial-era costume drawing and checkered geometric textile motifs.
