"The Spanish abusing the Indian women after the capture of King Atahualpa" is a historical engraving by Theodore de Bry, a Flemish engraver and publisher who lived during the 16th century. De Bry is renowned for his works that depict the early European explorations and encounters with indigenous peoples of the Americas. This particular engraving is part of his larger collection, often referred to as "America," which illustrates scenes from the European colonization of the New World.

The engraving captures a harrowing moment following the capture of Atahualpa, the last Inca emperor, by Spanish conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro in 1532. The artwork serves as a visual commentary on the brutal treatment of indigenous women by the Spanish invaders. It reflects the violence and exploitation that characterized the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, and more broadly, the European colonization of the Americas.

Theodore de Bry's engravings, including this one, were based on written accounts and second-hand descriptions, as de Bry himself never visited the Americas. His works were influential in shaping European perceptions of the New World and its inhabitants, often depicting the indigenous peoples as noble savages and the Spanish as cruel oppressors. The engraving is a testament to the power of visual media in historical narrative and remains a significant piece for understanding the cultural and historical context of the 16th-century European colonial endeavors.

As an important historical artifact, "The Spanish abusing the Indian women after the capture of King Atahualpa" is housed in various art collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis in the fields of art history, colonial studies, and historical anthropology. It continues to be a poignant reminder of the atrocities committed during the conquest and the complex legacy of colonialism in the Americas.
