At first glance, there is no significance as to why this image is near related to Cebeza De Vaca. Perhaps not a second look either. However, this image does release a sense of insecurity. At some point Vaca must have reached an endless despair in which he could not ressureect from. "I beg that I may be recieved as homage, since it is the most one could bring in return thence naked." Cebeza began his voyage in hopes to not sustain bitter fate like Colombus. As he talked about the Indians, there was a particular time of the voyage where disaster followed every corner he turned. Facing countless times of death is enough to break any man. I chose a female figure to demonstrate how low Cebeza was pushed. I see the clothes on the character to have once been worn in elegance. Yet at this time in the image its the sorrow painted that matters and becomes more lively to a person upon viewing, not the beautiful wings or the clothing. Just the same, by the end of De Vaca's journey, there was nothing left for him, only despair.
