I have not been able to find anything out about these pictures. They are both signed Abraham Callo or Gallo Sanchez. They are on a pretty thick older looking paper. Has anyone heard of him or can tell me anything about the pictures?
Put in the visual art category. He carrying a llama, so it must be Peruvian. He looks Andean.
Wait - I think he's carrying a sheep? The woman has the llama on a chain. He still looks Andean ...
Yep she is a Quechuan indian girl with traditional headwear in Cuzco style. Probably a street artist. Here's the head wear:
