File-Agueybana.JPG.jpg

This picture portrays Chief Agüeybana greeting Juan Ponce de leon on his arrival to Puerto Rico. The painting portrays a common scenario of the "first encounter" that occurred between the European explorers and the native populations. The artist literally painted a picture that shows a peaceful, innocent, and almost curious meeting between the two groups.
