This image displays a vertical segment of a historical tile mural, located in Mendoza, Argentina. The mural depicts three figures, rendered in a stylized, historical context, possibly representing Spanish colonial-era individuals. The leftmost figure, mostly obscured by significant paint loss on the upper body and face, wears a maroon tunic or coat over lighter-colored trousers and light brown shoes. This figure holds a small, rectangular, light-colored object, resembling a book, in their left hand, and some papers in their right hand. The central figure is an older man with a prominent white beard, dressed in a brown monastic habit, indicative of a friar or monk. His face is largely intact compared to the other figures. He appears to be holding or standing near a long staff or pole that supports a large, reddish-brown flag, which is visibly torn and damaged in its upper section. The rightmost figure, also with a heavily damaged and obscured face, wears a dark, wide-brimmed hat, a white ruffled collar, a white and yellow patterned doublet, blue and red striped breeches, and tall tan boots. A sword is visible at their left hip, and they hold a long spear or pole, likely connected to the flag, in their right hand. The background depicts a sparse, arid landscape with a yellow-tan ground transitioning to a light, cloud-strewn sky. The entire artwork is composed of ceramic tiles, with visible grid lines and extensive areas of chipped paint and surface wear, particularly affecting the faces of the figures on the left and right, and the fabric of the flag.
