The tension arising from the contraposition of pre-Columbian models and imported resources created formal solutions with which the tlacuiloque expressed themselves within the widened artistic vocabulary of the early viceroyalty. As such, these are better understood when considered to be solutions to essential problems that surfaced from the reconfiguration of Mexican society. Such is the case of the novel composition of folio 69r, in which the artists use single point perspective to depict the throne room where a lonely and vigilant Moteuhczoma sits, wrapped in his turquoise cloak and bereft of his war council. The tlatoani is represented as a dispenser of justice, presiding over his court from above, but no longer ruling or warring. As Mary Miller shows, Mexican subjects, always dressed in white, no longer enjoy the chromatic wealth of yore, but instead are apparently garbed in white whilst waiting for their baptism and, hence, for their transition into this new world in which individuals no longer form part of a hierarchical order but are instead grouped together under the homogenizing label of indio.
