 Based on the image, how do the Spanish see other groups as civilized or uncivilized? What are the differences between the two paintings?

### Image Description for Educational Context #### Left Panel: The painting shows a family consisting of three figures set outdoors. On the left, a woman adorned in a traditional dress with intricate patterns bends slightly towards a young boy, tenderly holding his hand. The boy, dressed in 18th-century European attire, stands between the woman and a man. The man is gesturing forward with one hand, wearing a coat and hat typical of the European colonial style of the time. Below this group, there is a text that reads: "de Español e Yndia, Mestizo." #### Right Panel: The scene depicts an interior setting with three figures. On the left, a man in a long coat and breeches, similar in style to the previous image, is leaning forward and intently focused on a task involving a woman. The woman, who is dressed in modest clothing, is engaged in crafting or fixing something using a tool, while the man assists or learns from her. Nearby, a child stands observing the two adults. The room contains shelves and surfaces with household items and pottery. The text beneath the figures states: "de Español y Negra, Mulato." These paintings are part of *Casta* paintings, artistic expressions from colonial Spanish America depicting the racial mixing of the time. They illustrate different racial combinations and their resulting "castas" or mixed-race descendants.

Expert Solution
Introduction

Spanish monarchy devised a labor system known as 'Encomiendas' to enslave the Native Americans. They employed them in the farms and mines. They wanted to Christianize the indigenous people.

Compared to other European colonial powers, Spain had less contribution to the African slave trade as they relied more on the Native Americans for labor. But they also received Africans slaves in their colonies.
