An engraving depicting a 16th-century meeting, likely the formation of the partnership for the conquest of Peru. Three men in European attire gather around a table. One sits with his back to the viewer, gesturing; another sits across from him, and the third stands. A soldier with a pike stands near a stone wall. Through a masonry archway, a three-masted ship is anchored in a harbor. The number 12 is in the corner.
