Wooden balconies extend outward from ancient yellow walls in Lima's Barrios Altos neighborhood. Pizarro himself designed the city center, and the luxurious colonial neighborhood sprang up alongside it. Antonio Marquez depicts a traditional mansion, ravaged by time, in this evocative painting. A wrought iron street light on the venerable old building illuminates the narrow city street. Titled Balcón de Barrios Altos in Spanish.
