"De español y mestiza, castiza" is a 1763 painting by Mexican Baroque artist Miguel Cabrera. The painting depicts a family group consisting of a Spanish man, a Mestiza woman, and their young daughter. The composition is arranged in a triangular formation, with the daughter at the front, the mother in the middle, and the father to the right, highlighting the family unit. The painting serves as a testament to the fusion of European and indigenous cultures in 18th-century Mexico. The scene likely depicts a shoemaker's workshop, with the family's attire and the presence of shoes in the background suggesting a connection to the trade.
