Portrait of Valentina Quispe in the Village of Cachin, Valley of Lares, Northern Cusco. She displays the typical dress of that region, the predominant color of the textiles being red-on-white with black bands of plain warp weave. Beside her is a backstrap loom -with a weaving in process- about to be set up.
