"Captain Luis de Avalos Killing an Inca" is an illustration by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala, a Quechua nobleman known for his critical and extensive work, "El primer nueva corónica y buen gobierno" (The First New Chronicle and Good Government), which he completed around 1615. This drawing is one of the nearly 400 images contained within the manuscript, which serves as a visual and textual record of the Andean culture, the impact of the Spanish conquest, and the abuses committed by the colonial authorities against the indigenous peoples of the region.

The illustration depicts a violent encounter between the Spanish conquistadors and the Inca people, with Captain Luis de Avalos, a figure representing the Spanish military forces, shown in the act of killing an Inca individual. This image is emblematic of the broader themes of Huaman Poma's work, which sought to appeal to the Spanish king for reform and to advocate for the rights and better treatment of the Andean peoples. The chronicle blends Huaman Poma's personal experiences, Andean folklore, and historical accounts, making it a significant document for understanding the early colonial period in Peru.

Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala's manuscript was a pioneering work that combined text and imagery to convey its message, and it remained relatively unknown until its rediscovery in the early 20th century. Today, "Captain Luis de Avalos Killing an Inca" is recognized not only as a piece of historical documentation but also as a work of art that reflects the complex interplay of cultures during a transformative period in South American history. The illustration, along with the rest of the manuscript, provides invaluable insights into the resistance and resilience of the Andean people, as well as the cultural and social dynamics of the time.
