The inscription records the donor's (Reverand Doctor Antonio de Valdés) university specialization in philosophy and his activities as an educator in diverse parishes southeast of Cuzco: Carabaia, Lampa, Tinta, and Azangaro. Near Azangaro is San Anton, so plausibly the parish church of that town is represented in the painting. The red sash with a golden crown that Valdés so prominently displays is a testament of his success as a vicar of the archdiocese (Obispado). Reference also is made to his being associated with the Jesuits. Clearly Valdés was responsible for the administration of several parishes and he traveled throughout the diocese of Cuzco as visitador, preaching to town folk and keeping the faithful Orthodox.
