"...in the center of Teaching of the Indians, a seated priest modestly addresses his students from a turned, profile position, while another priest stands to the right holding a native child. The artist's prominent placement of the posed natives in the center foreground of the scene is similar to Discovery of the Land in its unexpected shift of focus, making protagonists of nameless and previously ignored characters of history..."
