The son of an enslaved woman and a member of the elite, the painter Francisco “Pancho” Fierro not only left behind a complete record of the way of life and customs of Lima; the way we imagine life in the capital at the beginning of the republican era can be traced, to a large extent, to his work. Here we see two watercolors. One of them shows a horseman dressed in elegant country attire. The horse’s head is adorned with the amancaes flowers that gave their name to the famous hills where the people of Lima used to enjoy wintertime excursions.
