In the past decade, there has been a surge of Anglophone scholarship regarding Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which has led to a reframing of the discourses around Spanish culture of this period. Despite this new interest-in which painting, in particular, has been singled out for treatment-a comprehensive study of sculpture collections and the status of sculpture in Spain has yet to be produced.

Madrid, 1597. Francisca Pizarro Yupanqui, la primera mestiza noble del Perú, heredera de las dos fuerzas imperantes y enfrentadas, una de las mujeres más poderosas y ricas de la época, comienza a redactar de su puño y letra el relato oculto de su larga y azarosa existencia, en una confesión dirigida a quienes deberán juzgar y defender su memoria mestiza.
